Who/What is Commemorated?
Jews from Kam'ianets-Podil's'kyi and "Hungarian Jews" from Carpatho-Rus, murdered at this site
Description:
The killing site is a large fenced rectangle, where four monuments stand.
The old monument is an obelisk standing on a base stylized as a pile of stones. It bears a Russian inscription on its front and two Yiddish inscriptions in Soviet orthography on two sides. The inscriptions are similar to those on the monument in the Jewish cemetery of Kam'ianets-Podil's'kyi. Mistakes in the Russian inscription testify that the maker of the monument was Jewish.
On its eastern side, a monument to Hungarian Jews stands:
On the eastern and western edges of the rectangle, two high piers are placed:
