What is our Mission?
Our Work and Your Support – How we help each other
Since 1989, Poland is once more a democracy and, since May 2004, a member of the European Union. Poland has a long democratic tradition and has now opened its gates again to the big world. In order to realize the above mentioned important objectives, it is of paramount importance to make the synagogue, as a concrete institution and a symbolic establishment, the focal point of our project, which will unite the past, the present and the future.
Our project is conducted in cooperation with the following public institutions:
- The administration of the City of Dzier?oniów, its mayor, its council members, and its chief engineer.
- The Polish Regional Inspectorate for Historical Buildings in Wa?brzych
- The Jewish Community of Wroc?aw / Breslau and surrounding areas.
- The National Jewish Community of Poland in Warsaw
- The University of Wroc?aw – Department of Yiddish studies
- The future Muzeum of 1000 Years of Jewish Life in Poland, Warsaw
- The Jewish Central Heritage Foundation – Warsaw
Our plans cannot be realized without your additional financial support
We try our best not to become – as other restorations in Poland - in the best case just a historical renovated synagogue building, housing a bank or a local library, restaurant or even a pub, with a sign indicating, that some time ago, this building was a synagogue.
We turn to all of you, who consider our task important enough and therefore wish to contribute to it with information or donations of money or both, small or larger amounts from private and public sources.
The time for your contribution is now, because we - and most of all our precious synagogue that has been waiting so long now - have no time to lose. Whatever has been totally decayed or destroyed, will never be restored and the past will be lost and forgotten forever.
We must not let this happen! So we are asking for your help!
If the objectives that the Beiteinu Chaj-2004 Foundation has set for itself, are close to your interest,
if you are familiar with similar projects,
if it is close to your heart to save this great example of Jewish-Polish-German cultural heritage,
if you believe that the victims of the Holocaust must never be forgotten, just as the memory of the centuries of past rich Jewish life in Poland and in Germany,
if you want to participate in this important project of the Beiteinu Chaj-2004 Foundation in remembrance of your loved ones, deceased or murdered,
Please remember us and join our effort!
The Beiteinu Chaj-2004 Foundation urgently needs your help in order to save the venerable synagogue of Dzier?oniów / Reichenbach from ruin and restore it to its old glory, as a house of worship, a museum, and an active cultural center.
The Beiteinu Chaj-2004 Foundation accepts all donations, big or small, with gratitude, to be used for the realization of the objective stated above. Not only your donations, but also your suggestions and recommendations are most welcome.
