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 white plaque with a Ukrainian inscription is embedded in the obelisk, and a plaque with a Hebrew inscription was bolted to the obelisk in the post-Soviet period. A red Soviet star was originally pinned to the top of the monument, but was dismantled in 2011.
