Who is Commemorated?

More than 900 Jews of Klimavichy (Klimovichi) shot to death by the Nazis and their collaborators on November 6-7, 1941.

Description

The monument was erected in the 1950s at the killing site and mass grave of the Klimavichy (Klimovichi) Jews. It was shaped like a stele standing on a concrete base. The monument bore a marble plaque with Yiddish and Russian inscriptions. Originally, the Star of David and the letters pei-nun ("here lie") were a part of the monument.
A paved path led to the monument which was enclosed by a fence with the six-pointed star's forms. 
In 2018 the monument was replaced by a new one (see here).
