Restoration of the Jewish cemetery

The Jewish cemetery in Czarny Dunajec was established in the second half of the 19th century. For many years after the war, the area deteriorated and fell into ruin. One matzevot was left in the cemetery, most of the tombstones were overgrown with grass. The first cleaning action of the Jewish cemetery in Czarny Dunajec took place in 2016 on the initiative of Michał Szaflarski. At that time, the commune office, students and teachers from the local school, as well as volunteers from Podhale and other regions of Poland helped in the work. From 2016, the cleaning campaign took place every year, with time more and more people joined it until 2020, when the cemetery underwent a huge change thanks to the project "People, not numbers".
