Cemeteries form an important link to our Jewish ancestors. Whether or not the tombstones (matzevot) still exist undisturbed, Burial Records and Cemetery Lists can be helpful in preparing for a visit to a Jewish Cemetery in Poland or improving your family history information. Join us for a presentation about the diverse Cemetery lists that can be found in the JRI-Poland database that will include helpful hints on how to use the JRI-Poland database and the information in it from our partner organization: the Foundation for the Documentation of Jewish Cemeteries in Poland. Specific examples will include lists from Wroclaw (Breslau), Bytom, and Warszawa (Warsaw), and the JRI-Poland database includes much more!
