Jewish Holocaust Victims from Nadvirna, who were murdered here on October 6, 1941
Description
This monument is located at the mass grave and killing site in the Bukovynka Forest near Nadvirna. It is a brown stone obelisk with a rough surface that sits atop a stepped base.

A red Soviet star was originally pinned to the top of the monument, but was dismantled in 2011.
