In the Summer of 2016 when we began our restoration work in the Bagnowka Cemetery in Bialystok Poland we knew we could help the work which began in 2010 by Lucy Lisowska and her ASF summer camps. We wanted to lift more stones with our method and bring dignity back to the Jewish Cemetery that experienced so much destruction. Beginning last summer we have begun to reunite families with their ancestors graves which was not our original goal but has brought SO MUCH happiness to us all. This summer a family of ten (some from the U.S. and some from Israel) are coming to clean and paint their great-grandmother's headstone and say Kaddish there which probably hasn't happened since 1940. I am sure there won't be a dry eye among us. This project has brought so much joy to my life as we meet people from around the World that care. Thank you all who have been following our progress and special thank you to those that donated to the project.
