The Association of Descendants of Jewish Central Poland (ADJCP) will undertake the restoration of the Zychlin Jewish cemetery starting this summer. Like many Jewish cemeteries in Poland, dense vegetation covers most of the space, monuments and fencing are in disrepair, and signage is needed. Please consider joining us from July 1-5.
ADJCP has teamed up with the Matzevah Foundation, a non-profit organization with a wealth of experience restoring Jewish cemeteries. Our local partners Mayor Grzegorz Ambroziak, Bożena Gajewska, and Anna Wrzesińska will coordinate local volunteers and provide other assistance.

How can you help?
- Join us in Żychlin from July 1-5. This year, we will assess the condition of cemetery, clear vegetation, and determine whether sections of the fence require repair.
- Provide financial support for the project by sending a donation via the “donate” link at adjcp.org, and specifying the funds are for “Zychlin memorial projects.”
- Put us on your calendar for summer 2025 or summer 2026 when we expect to continue our work!
Żychlin is located about 75 miles west of Warsaw and about 45 miles south of Włocławek. The town’s Jewish Community was established in the second half of the 18th century, and until World War II, more than half of the inhabitants were Jewish.
