The ESJF extends its thanks to our local partners — the Federation of Jewish Communities in the Czech Republic (Federace židovských obcí v ČR) and Matana (Židovské památky v Česku / Jewish heritage in Czechia) — and also to the Municipality of Nečtiny and the Regional Museum of Nečtiny, for their support. We would also like to thank Mojmír Malý and Petra Vladařová from Matana for their significant involvement in the project and for organizing the ceremony.

During World War II and the subsequent communist period, the cemetery wall was destroyed. In 2023, the ESJF, with the financial support of the Auswärtiges Amt (German Federal Foreign Office) and the assistance of local partners, reconstructed the wall on its original foundations.
