From Avigdor Ben-Dov:
"...I'd like to share
these photos of the Zambrow cemetery taken by the field workers
sponsored and guided by Yad LeZehava Institute in Kedumim. They
were taken in 2006. One can see that the area is large and it is
fenced in (though open in some places). the biggest problem isn't
cleaning up as some suggest doing, since most of it was done by
YZI. The Polish mayor also was present when the group worked there
and gave full cooperation.
The undergrowth and trees are
the biggest problem as many more stones are probably buried and
undiscovered, hidden by foliage. This also makes reading the
inscriptions tough. Lots of work was done to find as many as
possible and clean them up. I don't think any more visible stones
exist, but there are some standing which are totally unreadable or
broken beyond (repair).
One photo (below) is (of) a wonderful rededication ceremony held
for Gedalia Tykocinski, whose matzeva (stone) was partially buried
and separated. The workers put it together and said Kaddish over
the grave when all was cleaned up."

to share with others in the Forum? Have you family photographs or stories
that might be of interest to others? Have you any sound or video
recordings that might fit in with the theme of the Forum, that others
might like to hear or see? If you have a photo or two of the person you
wish to be represented that could accompany any biographical information,
please send that
