Bialystok Cemetery Restoration

The Bialystok Cemetery Restoration Fund is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to restoring the Bagnowka Cemetery in Bialystok, Poland, which was severely desecrated following World War II. Initiated in 2015 by Amy and Josh Degen, this grassroots effort aims to honor the memory of a once-thriving Jewish community and bring dignity back to those laid to rest there.

Through the support of volunteers and generous benefactors, the organization works to recover and restore headstones while raising awareness about the historical significance of the cemetery. The project seeks not only to restore the physical space but also to provide a measure of peace to the families of the deceased who endured multiple losses due to the cruel circumstances of history.
