Ozarow Cemetery Restoration Project - About Us The Ozarow cemetery dates back almost 400 years. It is one of the few remaining Jewish cemeteries in Poland, with its approximately 300 (including ca 200 recently uncovered) monuments, standing in solemn testimony to the thriving Jewish community that once was. The search for ancestral roots and the remarkable beauty of the detailed carvings, attracts many visitors each year to Ozarow. The cemetery wall was almost totally destroyed during the World War II and many of the stones were taken for fortifications by the Germans about 15 km away. For years Ozarowers and their descendants have dreamed of restoring the cemetery walls, erecting a commemorative monument, and repairing and raising toppled stones onto firm bases.
