Jewish Sites, Relics
Survive In Poland
Rome (JTA) — A New York-
based monuments preserva-
tion organization has
published a survey of
historic Jewish monuments
in Poland — the first full-
scale survey of existing Jew-
ish relics in contemporary
Poland.
Including much previously
unavailable or unknown in-
formation, the survey de-
scribes the current condition
and status of more than
1,000 Jewish sites
throughout Poland, mostly
cemeteries and synagogues.
The illustrated survey is a
report of research carried
out between 1991 and 1993
by the Jewish Heritage
Council of the World
Monuments Fund on behalf
of the United States Com-
mission for the Preservation
of America's Heritage
Abroad.
The commission, founded
by Congress in 1985 to work
with the U.S. State Depart-
ment, negotiates
agreements for the inven-
tory and preservation of en-
dangered monuments,
historic buildings, archival
material and cemeteries
associated with the foreign
heritage of U.S. citizens.
The survey of Poland,
whose published report is
the first in a planned series
funded by the commission
and focusing on central and
eastern Europe, was under-
taken to encourage govern-
ment and private strategies
to protect and preserve these
relics.
"This report should re-
mind government and pri-
vate citizens that preserva-
tion and restoration of east-
ern and central European
cultural landmarks is of the
utmost importance of to
many Americans," said
Rabbi Arthur Schneier, the
commission's chairman.
The survey includes a
listing of all the approx-
imately 300 known extant
synagogue buildings in
Poland, their dates of con-
struction (if known), and
present use.
The synagogues range
from ruins, to buildings now
used as cinemas,
warehouses, shops, cultural
centers, museums and other
secular uses, to a handful
still used as synagogues.
The survey also lists ap-
proximately 700 of the 1,000
Jewish cemeteries or sites of
former cemeteries identified
Arthur Schneier:
Preservation is vital.
during the survey, with in-
formation including number
of tombstones, condition,
present use, and threats
from vegetation, pollution,
erosion, vandals and con-
struction. Many of the
cemeteries listed have no
visible tombstones.
Information about these
sites has been installed in a
computer database at the
United States Holocaust
Memorial Museum in Wash-
ington.
"Of the once vast number
of cemeteries, synagogues,
communal buildings and
other significant sites assoc-
iated with the distinctive
cultural and spiritual center
of Judaism in Poland —
arguably the most important
of its kind in Europe —only a
small number exist today,"
the survey states.
"Most are not recognizable
for what they once were. The
Nazi destruction of Jewish
buildings and cemeteries
with the goal of eradicating
every trace of Jewish exis-
tence was followed by half a
century of neglect of most of
the places that managed to
survive. Despite recent pro-
found and welcome change,
an enormous task lies ahead
to halt and reverse deteri-
oration, and to correct the
effects of mindless and inap-
propriate change," it says.
The survey also includes
chapters on the historical
background of Jewish
heritage in Poland and a
discussion of Poland's
historic preservation law
and its application vis-a-vis
Jewish historic sites. El
