Who is Comemmorated?

Victims of the Holocaust from Subotica

Description

The monument is an upright stele with a semi-rounded top, made of brick and white stone, placed on a three-stepped platform.  The memorial stands in the center of a hexagonal plateau from which two paths extend, one to the synagogue and the other one to the entrance to the synagogue yard. On both sides of the monument, a Magen David is engraved above identical inscriptions in five languages: Serbo-Croatian (in Cyrillic and Latin script), Hungarian, English, and Hebrew.
