The descendant of Holocaust survivors who said he lost 86 members of his family, many of whom were Polish, has worked since 2009 to locate graves of murdered Jews and hold memorials to honor and preserve their memory. Lippman has identified some 50 Polish Jews killed at the hands of the Nazis between September 1939 and March 1942 and dumped in mass graves, before concentration camps were constructed to carry out Adolf Hitler’s Final Solution.

Lippman made a PBS documentary, “Safeguarding Memory: Commemorating Jewish Mass Graves in Poland,” about this phenomenon. “While most of us know the names Treblinka and Auschwitz, it’s often those nameless, faceless people who had the bad fortune of being just picked by the Nazis and just shot in the woods – without ever having the dignity of a burial,” Lippman said. “We want to give those poor souls the dignity they deserve – at least in death.”
