Dariusz initiated the excavation of over 3,000 matzevot in Inowrocław, as well as the construction of a lapidary. A promoter of knowledge on the Jewish culture in Inowrocław, he has formed a group of collaborators dedicated to the preservation of the Jewish cultural heritage in the city. He has helped reconstruct the history of the Grinspan family and recover the identity of Yoram Grinspan.
