Jews of Kremenets murdered in the Holocaust

Description

The cylindrical memorial on the high stepped base was placed at the mass grave in Kremenets in 1992. The monument is decorated with two marble plaques inscribed in Ukrainian and Hebrew.  The plaques are engraved with Magen David and a grieving woman with her hand over her mouth.

Inscription

The inscriptions on the plaque read:

In Ukrainian:

Тут
в серпнi 1942 р.
нiмецькими
фашистами
розстрiляно 15000
громадян єврейськоï
нацiональностi.
Схилiмо голови
в задумi,
не даймо
повторитися бiдi.

Translation: Here in August 1942 were shot to death by the German Fascists 15,000 civilians of Jewish nationality [of Kremenets]. We bow our heads in thought, we will not let this calamity happen again.

In Hebrew:

כאן טמונים 15000 קורבנות
גברים, נשים וטף. ילידי
ותושבי קרמניץ, שנרצחו
ונטבחו על ידי הצוררים
הנאצים ועוזריהם ה."י.ד.
ת.נ.צ.ב.ה. במדינת ישראל

Translation: Here are buried 15,000 victims – men, women and children, natives and residents of Kremenets who were killed and slaughtered by Nazi enemies and their accomplices. May God avenge their blood. May their souls be bound in the bundle of life in the State of Israel.
