Our goal is to locate matzevas fragments and whole stones from the Poznan area, collect them, catagorize and record each, piece together fragments from the same stone, and finally to record inscriptions and build a lapidarium.

The purpose of this page is --as the title suggests-- the redemption of Poznan "matzevas." Matzevas are Jewish gravestones. As so often sadly happened during WWII, the Germans not only destroyed Jewish lives, synagogues, and cemeteries, they also destroyed Jewish cemeteries' gravestones. The stones were often used in building projects for: roadways, stream embankments, curbing, and the flooring for artificial lakes. One, Lake Rusalka is 367,000 square metres.
