Fence Renovation at New Cemetery

I just became aware that the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland (FODZ) is renovating the fence that surrounds the New Cemetery. There's a short blurb on their website here. I'm happy to hear they are expending the funds and energy to improve conditions there.

Updated and Corrected Stones / Search Issues

Thanks to the efforts of various correspondents, I have been able to add more information and make corrections to several stones. So if you are interested in one but could not read it, you may find more data in the edited blog entry. Unfortunately, edits do not bump the entries to a more recent date, so it is necessary to browse them to find changes. The easiest way to browse is by clicking the dates on the left side of the blog pages.

Also, I discovered today that the "Search This Blog" box at the top of the page does not necessarily find all stones that meet the search criteria. Some of the stones have apparently never been added to google's database. So this is another reason to browse through the blog entries.

11 More Stones

Well, it took me more than two years to get around to it, but here are the 11 New Cemetery gravestones that were not photographed in the other set. These are scans from film prints and thus higher resolution than the other photos on this website. The white substance on the stones is chalk, which yields superior legibility. (The individuals who took these photographs were instructed to take great care in applying and removing the chalk.) As always, if you have further information on any of these people or just want to leave a note that they are your relatives, please use the 'comment' feature. Cheers!

View of Lower Section of Old Cemetery

This is the lower part of the hillside where the Old Cemetery sits. The road is ul. Rybaki. The bridge in the background crosses the Narew River.

This concludes the Old Cemetery photos at just over 200 stones.

I have another set of photos from the New Cemetery to post, but I have to scan them first, and it's going to be a while before I get to that. Only 10 of those show stones that are not already pictured on this website, but all of them are generally more legible than what is here.
