| Forest near the village Pavlivka
On August 1, 1941, Stanisławów (now Ivano-Frankivsk) came under Nazi occupation. On August 3, 1941, SS-Hauptsturmführer Hans Krüger ordered Jews of independent professions to come to the Gestapo headquarters. Jews were tortured there, taken out to the forest near the village Pawełcze (now Pavlivka), and killed [Solovka].
Alejandro Landman financed the installation of the first monument on the Jewish mass grave in Pavlivka in 1999–2001. He was born in Stanisławów and lived there before WWII. His father, Dr. Hersh Landman, was a lawyer, and perished during the mass murder on August 3-4, 1941 [The JewishGen KehilaLinks Project].
It is unclear what happened with the monument, but since 2016 a new obelisk has appeared at this place, and the black plaque from the first monument seems to be embedded in the new one. It can be confirmed by the photos in the newspaper of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine [Brukhal].
In the present, local and regional authority representatives and Jewish community members gather at the monument on International Holocaust Remembrance Day (January 27th), and the Day of mass shootings at Babyn Yar [Kyiv], (September 29th). They lay flowers and stones to the monument [V Ivano-Frankivsku vshanuvaly; Na Prykarpatti vshanuvaly]
