Inmates and staff of the Remand Prison in Krasnystaw have once again cleaned up the grounds of the Jewish cemetery in Izbica. Works were carried out within the framework of the “Tikkun – Repair” project, in which the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland is a partner. The cemetery was established in the second half of the 18th century and gravely damaged during the World War II. Since 2006 the Foundation is realizing a project of commemoration of the Jewish cemetery in Izbica. Within its framework a monument to the Jewish community of Izbica was unveiled in November 2006. The monument was funded by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in cooperation with the Foundation.
