How can I support the project?
Perhaps you have been on a tour of the cemetery, and now you recognise the poor condition of the grounds and monuments? Almost all the relatives of those interred in the cemetery either perished in the Holocaust or have long since emigrated abroad, and there is no-one left to take care of the graves. The Jewish Community has a limited budget, and so is only able to make a modest contribution to the preservation effort.
We are asking you to help us! You may choose one of the following options:
Voluntary work:
On our opening days from March to October you can experience the culturally and historically unique area from a completely different perspective. You help in garden care and remove plants around gravestones.
Gloves, scissors, rakes and pushcarts are available.
The current dates can be found here.
If you happen to have any gardening gloves or other equipment of your own, please bring these along.
Please note:
• All visitors enter the site at their own risk, and you will be asked to confirm this on arrival (declaration of liability).
• Men are requested to wear a head covering.
• Please wear sturdy footwear and suitable working clothes.
• We may stop work in the event of strong wind or severe weather conditions.
