  Memorial to the victims of Fascism in Chişinău, Moldova, 1991

© Stuart Saffer, Photographer: Tepper, Yigal, 2004

The report "Jewish Historic Monuments and Sites in Moldova" published by The United States Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad in 2010 states:

"The monument designed by A. David and F. Naumov was erected in 1991 on the site of mass executions near the stone quarry where Jews were forced to work during Second World War. The monument, set on top of the small grassy mound, displays two extended arms reaching up with the hands breaking the barbed wire and swastika. At first the design appears to be abstract, but as one moves around the monument the arms reveal themselves."
