The Foundation Monumentum Iudaicum Lodzense – Lodz Jews Heritage Foundation
was established in Lodz on the 6th of November 1995 and registered in 1997. Its
founders were the then Municipality of Lodz, Organization of Former Residents of
Lodz in Israel and the World Jews Restitution Organization. The first president
of the Foundation was its inspirer, Arnold Mostowicz, who passed away in 2002.
The next president, Andrzej Bodek officiated only for couple of months and since
August 30th 2005 Professor Henryk Panusz fills the position as acting president
of the Foundation. The Foundation realizes its goals in cooperation with the Jewish Community in Lodz, and the Organization of Former Residents of Lodz in Israel and Municipality of Lodz. Its main goal is saving the Jewish Cemetery at Bracka Street, restoring and preserving the memory of Lodz the Jewish society and its significant contribution to the city's life and its development. Equally important task is the spreading of the knowledge of the Holocaust and Ghetto Lodz and remembering the fates of its inhabitants. The above mentioned tasks are realized by cleaning and renovating of the Jewish Cemetery, research, gathering documents about people buried there. Cooperating with institutions like archives, museums, publishing houses, schools, educational institutions etc. The Foundation carries on publishing activity, initiates and supports educational and cultural enterprises which help to popularize knowledge about history of Lodz Jews. These aims have been realized since the establishing of the Foundation by all its directors: Barbara Celler (1997–1999), Henryk Panusz (1999–2002), Marek Szukalak (since autumn 2002). In the years following the establishment of the Foundation, a circle of people from Poland and abroad, who represent science, culture and art gathered around the Foundation and are engaged in realizing our program. We cooperate with many institutions in Poland and abroad like YIVO in New York, the Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority of Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington and Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw.
