Kolbuszowa Cemetery JOWBR Project:

• In collaboration with JewishGen Online Worldwide Burial Registry (JOWBR) our membership helped fund the Kolbuszowa Cemetery Project. Jacek Proszyk, a brilliant Jewish Polish historian, was hired to take digital photographs of all the Matzevot (about 300), translate the inscriptions, and create a spreadsheet for JOWBR.   The data records and the photographs of the Matzevot have being incorporated into the online searchable JOWBR database.
