Yom Kippur

Published on by jewish.tarnowLeave a comment
As the Jewish holy day of Yom
Kippur approaches, it brings with it a time of introspection and the
remembrance of relatives who are no longer alive. 
The cemetery restoration pays
tribute to Jewish ancestors who are buried in the Tarnow Jewish cemetery and
ensures that their graves are protected and accessible.  A donation at
this time of year is especially meaningful as an act of remembrance and
support. Adam and I extend to everyone our wishes that they be inscribed in the
book of life.

Państwa datek na remont cmentarza, zwłaszcza o tej porze roku, ma szczególne znaczenie jako akt pamięci i uczestniczenia w tym wspólnym zadaniu.

New Roma monument in Borzecin

Published on by jewish.tarnowLeave a comment
Part of International Roma Caravan of Memory was unveiling of new Monument, commemorated Roma, killed by Germans in 1942 in Borzęcin. 

We unveiled first Roma Monument in Borzęcin forest in 2011 at the place, where 29 Roms was shooted. The author of monument is Małgorzata Mirga-Tas, Roma artist from Czarna Góra (Southern Poland). More about this initiative: HERE.
After World War II, people murdered in forest was exhumed to local cemetery. But the area of the grave was reduced by other graves. This year Committee and Comune Borzęcin did the second exhumation to the central place of cemetery. At this place we put the new Monument (Waldemar Ondyczy, Rom, did all of masonry works), which is pedestal and sculpture of Hungarian Roma artist – András Kállai. The sculpture „Gypsy Family” was born some years ago in Czarna Góra, where Roma artists from the whole world meet every year at special artistic open-air meeting, names „Jaw Dikh” (rom. 'Come, See’). Organizer of event is Małgorzata Mirga-Tas and her Foundation of Art.
Monument „Gypsy Family” was unveiling 28. July 2017.
Hungarian artists: András and his brother Henrik Kállai could come to Poland thanks to Hungarian Institute of Culture in Warsaw.
Project was finansed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.

Steve Israeler in Tarnów

Published on by jewish.tarnowLeave a comment
Mr Steve (Stefan) Israeler came to visit Tarnów on July 04. His family comes from Wadowice and Kęty, later they lived in Kraków. Steve came to Tarnów during World War II as a young boy. He worked as a carter, a carriage driver, when he was about 12 years old. He drove a horse and carriage for the German SS Chief Rommelman and Grunov from the Gestapo. Both extremely cruel men.

We went to Warzywna str., where he lived before the Ghetto in Tarnów, then we saw Jewish Cemetery and PCK str. (it was Zyblikiewicza str. until 70.), where he spent some time also.

Mr Steve was part of one of the last Jewish group left for clean up of the Tarnów ghetto. He said: „I was last Jew in Tarnów”. He lost his entire family – both in Tarnow and in other sites. It was very moving and informative meeting.
