Jewish cemetery in Działoszyce
„On May 15th, 2009 I brought a group of Jewish high school seniors from the Shalhevet School in Los Angeles, accompanied by two Holocaust survivors, to Dzialoszyce where were greeted by Polish students and teachers from the local high school as well as by students from Krakow’s Jagiellonian University. Together we symbolically restored the towns Jewish cemetery by affixing 100 plaques with names of Jews buried there to the trees that now cover the cemetery. The genealogical information for these 100 plaques that enabled this historic event to take place was researched by Kamila Klauzinska”

In 2009 I had a privilege to participate in Menachem Daum’s cemetery commemoration project, both as a genealogist and as an academic teacher. In 2012 we came back to check if local people take care of the cemetery and plaques. To our surprise more plaques still exist. Someone ordered carefully those of them which fell down already. At last someone putted small red and yellow candles.

Who We Are
We are a Polish-Dutch researching team. For both of us Jewish genealogy has become a passion. Since more than 10 years we have been solving riddles, i.e. deciphering handwritten Polish, German and Old-Russian vital records, which has been only possible thanks to our knowledge of these languages. We perform professional genealogical research of your families back to its roots in the 18th century, taking you so on an exceptional journey to the past.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide high quality research on genealogy, as well as field tours for descendants of Polish Jews. For over 10 years we have been assisting individuals and families with Polish-Jewish roots, uncovering unknown aspects of their personal history and locating long-lost and sometimes unknown relatives. Our research experience is extensive, and we possess excellent command of several languages, and are familiar with many aspects of Polish and Polish-Jewish history, culture and customs. We often lecture about genealogy-related topics at international conferences and workshops, including in universities in Poland and abroad.
Our References
Being genealogical researchers for over 10 years has given us the unique opportunity to cooperate both with genealogists all over the world as well as with filmmakers, writers, and scientific institutions. From these contacts and meetings we have gained a great deal. We endeavor to use this knowledge and experience in our work. We therefore allow those who have trusted us and of whom we have learned a lot to speak.
