Who is Commemorated?

Jewish victims of the Holocaust from Krustpils and Gostiņi (part of the town of Pļaviņas from 1956), murdered in the Kaķīši swamps

Description:

The monument stands at the edge of two large mass graves surrounded by a low metal fence.

The monument is a red granite stele on a gray granite pedestal and a concrete base. From behind, it is supported by concrete “steps.” The stele bears almost identical inscriptions in Russian and Yiddish.
