Jewish Holocaust Victims from Lanivtsi 

Description

The monument is located in the Jewish cemetery in Lanivtsi near two mass graves. It is a concrete rectangular slab with a brown arched recess, within which there is an image of a grieving woman. Below, a Ukrainian inscription is carved, which does not mention specific information about the events and the ethnicity of the Victims. A metal plaque, attached later between the image and the Ukrainian inscription, bears a Hebrew inscription.
