Restoration of the Jewish Cemetery of Wysokie Mazowiecki
Albert Stankowski & Adv. Monika Krawczyk of FODŻ (Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland - Fundacja Ochrony Dziedzictwa Żydowskiego) supervised reconstruction and supplied the photographs. Fund raising for the Project was originally started with PJCRP (Norman Weinberg).
Implementation of The Wysokie Mazowieckie Cemetery Restoration, May 2006
|
Jews settled in Wysokie Mazowieckie in the 17th Century. In the second half of the 19th Century they became and remained the majority of the town's citizens, contributing to its economic and cultural development. During the German occupation, in August 1941, all Wysokie Mazowiecki Jews were forced to live in a ghetto. The ghetto was liquidated on November 2, 1942, and its 2000 Jewish inhabitants were sent to the camp in Zambrow, and afterwards, in January 1943 – to Auschwitz.
In memory of the Jewish inhabitants of Wysokie Mazowieckie, murdered in the time of the Shoah by the Germans and their collaborators.

The Wysokie Mazowiecki Cemetery Dedication & Commemoration Ceremonies will be held at 10:00h on Thursday, November 23, 2006.

The Recovered Tombstones
The inscriptions in Hebrew, when available, were deciphered from the photographs and translated by Ada Holtzman. The sign "?" added when I was unsure.
Legend for the abbreviations used on the tombstones can be found in my web page:
http://www.zchor.org/heritage/abbreviations.htm
For example:
| לפ"ק LP"K | לפרט קטן (ספירת השנים ללא ציון ספרת האלפים) |
By the abbreviated era (without mentioning the thousands, e.g. תשס"ב=762 instead of התשס"ב=5762 |
| תנצב"ה T.N.TZ.B.H | תהיה נשמתו צרורה בצרור החיים |
May his soul be bound up in the bond of everlasting life |
| מו"ה | מורנו הרב |
Our teacher and Rabbi |
| פ.נ. | פה נטמן |
Here lies buried |
I apologize in advance for any error which might have happened due to the age and the situation of the crumbling tombstones.
