A number of descendants of families from Narewka have traveled there over the years to see the hometown of their ancestors; a few survivors have made return visits.  Ten years ago Israel Birenbaum visited Narewka with his father Moshe, who was born there in 1918 and left in June of 1941 to join the Red Army, leaving behind his family, who would soon be murdered with the rest of the Jewish community. About two months after his father's passing, Israel, who was named after his father's younger brother, just returned from a second trip made in May of 2011 with his brother, who was named after their paternal grandfather Aharon Zvi. They were accompanied by 45 Israeli students from the high school his brother runs; while in Narewka they had the opportunity to meet with local Polish students from the Zespół Szkół w Narewce. You can read Israel's moving account of his two trips to Narewka here, Visits in Narewka - Birenbaum Family.

On this recent trip to Narewka Israel was able to locate his great-grandfather's grave, which he and his father were not able to accomplish when they were there in 2001.  He wrote to me, " I have just came back from a very exciting visit in Poland - specifically in Narewka. I, along with my brother and his school (45 students) had a great meeting with the students of a Narewka local school. We also did a joint tour in my father's home town from the Synagogue [site] to the cemetery. There I located in miracle way the grave of my father's grandfather  - somehow I walked straight to his grave, although in my last visit with my father in 2001 we didn't find it! Then we went to the monument and made a ceremony - I played my father saying Kaddish back at 2001 and asked the students to say Amen now - it was very exciting." (May 2011)
