Victims of the Ludza Ghetto

Description:

The monument is situated between the Mazā Ezerkrata Street and the Mazais Ludzas Lake, not far from the existing synagogue.

A path leads from the street to a low stone wall, in front of which the monument is situated. It is a low black granite stele standing on a concrete pedestal in the form of the Star of David. Two concrete boxes for flowers flank the monument.
