Located in the center of Warsaw, this is one of the only Jewish cemeteries to survive World War II in Poland, a fact all the more striking given its incredible size - 82 acres. Since the war, the Warsaw Jewish Cemetery was largely left to nature, which overtook many of the graves, filling the walled city of the dead with thick bushes, waist-high grass, and trees. In 1999, though, JRI-Poland launched an initiative to take back history from the jungle, clearing away the overgrowth to find and document every tombstone in the cemetery. And, on our first full day in Poland, we were on site to assist with the effort.
