The project implemented by the Ari Ari Foundation aimed to restore the memory of the Jewish community of Osięciny (Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship), which existed in the town from the 18th century until World War II. The project included educational, documentation, and commemorative activities, focusing on sites such as the Jewish cemetery, the former synagogue, the mikveh, and other buildings connected with Jewish presence in the region.

As part of the project, historical, photographic, and conservation workshops were held for local residents, particularly young people, along with clean-up and inventory activities. The culmination of the project was a commemorative installation and a digital publication presenting the results of the work.

The project had a social and educational character and aimed not only to preserve cultural heritage but also to foster intercultural dialogue and strengthen historical awareness within the local community. The project was carried out from June 2024 to June 2025.
