A ghetto in Oleksandriia was established in August 1942. On September 23–24, 1942, it was liquidated. During the liquidation of the ghetto, 903 Jews were shot in Sviatskyi Forest. 85 Jews, who managed to survive the liquidation of the ghetto, returned to Oleksandriia. They were murdered on October 28.1942 [Tsal Kaplun Foundation].
According to the Tsal Kaplun Foundation, the monument on the killing site was established in the 2000s. Apparently it was erected before 2002, because the Head of the Rivne Regional State Administration included the memorial sign on The List of Monuments of History and Monumental Art of Local Significance of Rivne District by the order no. 292 on May 27, 2002 [Rivnenska raionna derzhavna administratsiia].
