Please Support the Żychlin Cemetery Project

Hi all Żychlin / ADJCP fans,

The Association of Descendants of Jewish Central Poland is well along in our planning for our annual trip (May 25-29) to clean up the Żychlin Jewish cemetery and continue our research on the World War II mass grave we hope to have respectfully marked and commemorated.

We recently had a Zoom session to answer questions about the project and have had GREAT interest from people wanting to join this year’s trip! Twelve international volunteers, including students, descendants, and other interested individuals, have signed up to participate. We also have promises of cooperation from our Polish partners: the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage, the Rabbinical Commission in Warsaw, the Żychlin mayor and municipality, local activist Bożena Gajewska, and others.

I’m writing today to ask for your support to help us accomplish our goals. Any donation, small or large, will be put to good use. Click here to donate: Donate

Checks can be sent to:

We will post regular updates about our progress during the May trip, including photographs, stories, and new revelations. Donors will receive e-mail links to these reports.

Thanks in advance for your support.
