[UPDATE]The decayed Jewish cemetery in Trzcianne (Trestina), NW of Bialystok, is without maintenance since the Nazis destroyed most of the town in 1941. A restoration project started by Trestina descendants in partnership with the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland (the Polish government entity that owns the cemetery) received support from the chief rabbi of Poland,Michael Schudrich. One of project's goals is to document the inscriptions on the headstones. To learn more, visit https://jewishheritagepoland.org/trzcianne.html [May 2021].
