Meet the partners of Centropa in the cemetery education project:

The Foundation for Jewish Heritage locates and researches vulnerable Jewish heritage sites and develops strategies to protect and promote sustainably alongside local partners. By doing so, the Foundation aims to educate communities about past and present Jewish life, per their motto, ‘preserving the past, shaping the future.’

The European Jewish Cemeteries Iniative provides practical solutions on how to physically protect the Jewish cemeteries of Europe. The initiative’s preservation work aims to construct walls with locking gates around vulnerable cemeteries and look after the cemeteries’ general upkeep. By doing this, the ESJF Project hopes to preserve Jewish memory, especially in so-called ‘priority areas such as the former Soviet-bloc and South-Eastern Europe.
