Zawiercie Jewish Cemetery
Restoration Project
Dec 26, 2014
Dear friends,
I finally organized all the pictures I could find and I created a site on my Facebook page titled “Zawiercie Jewish Cemetery Restoration Project.”
As regards the cemetery, Marcin Bergier was very busy this year clearing the vegetation and smaller trees as well as the area at the entrance behind the two buildings either side of the gate. He also contacted the city to empty the garbage can behind the carriage house. I have also sent him a chainsaw, which he plans on using next year to take down some of the smaller trees... One of the most difficult issue we are dealing with are the two buildings on either side of the entrance gate. The one on the left is the carriage house and the one on the right is where the caretaker lived and the bodies were prepared for burial. These two buildings have serious structural damage... If we don’t get some serious money, the two buildings will likely have to be torn down. If anyone has any idea about a charitable organization we can contact to get a grant, please let me know.
Please forward this note to anyone I may have missed.
Thank you,
Joe Greenbaum

On Tuesday April 9, 2013 Joe Greenbaum send email to a group of people that have an interest in the town of Zawiercie:
"Dear Friends and Family, I would like to inform you that the city of Zawiercie is planning to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the liquidation of the Zawiercie ghetto on Thursday, August 29, 2013. Attached, you will find the invitation and a preliminary program schedule. "
The event took place on August 29, 2013 and Heidi Urich shared with me her experience:
"I attended the Zawiercie commemoration and found it to be a very worthwhile experience. I was particularly moved by the procession from the marketplace at the edge of the ghetto to the train station. In addition to town officials, there appeared to be a great many town residents who joined us as we walked about a mile on the route our family members were forced to take as they were being deported to Auschwitz. A large plaque commemorating the Jewish community was unveiled at the train station opposite the tracks in a solemn ceremony. This was followed by another ceremony at the Jewish cemetery. "
