Who is Commemorated?

418 Jēkabpils Jews and the Jews from Viesīte, and Nereta murdered in Kūkas

Description:

The mass grave where Jews murdered in Kūkas Swamp were reburied in 1958 is marked by a low kerb. A high granite stele with a triangular top is situated in the center of the grave. It bears inscriptions in Yiddish and Russian and a depiction of a Star of David, which - as it seems - was removed at some stage between 1959 and 1990. 

Inscriptions:

Yiddish:

צום אייביקען אנדענק
דיא 3 אידישע קהלות
יעקאבפילס: וויעסיטע
נערעטע וואס זיינען
אומגעקומען אויף
קידוש השם קרבנות
פון דיא פאסישטישע
מערדער ימח שמם
אין יאר 1941 ת'נ'צ'ב'ה'

Translation: For eternal memory of three Jewish communities of Jēkabpils, Viesīte, and Nereta, that were annihilated for the sanctification of the name, victims of fascist murderers, may their names be obliterated, in 1941. May their souls be bound in the bundle of life.

Russian:

Вечная память
погибшему еврейскому
населению гор. Екабпилс
Виесиете и Нерета,
расстрелянному
немецкими оккупантами
в 1941 году.

Translation: Eternal memory of the perished Jewish population of cities Jēkabpils, Viesīte, and Nereta, shot by the German occupiers in 1941.
