Inscription
Hebrew:
על זה היה דוה לבנו
שכבו לארץ חוצות נער וזקן
לז”נ קדושי זולאטשוב
שנהרגו באכזריות נוראה
ע”י הרשעים הנאצים ימ”ש
ומקצתם נקברו בקבר אחים
פה בבית הקברות הזה
ת.נ.צ.ב.ה
Translation: For this our hearts are faint, / young and old lay fallen in the streets, / in memory of the souls of the Zolochov martyrs / who were extremely brutally killed / by villains Nazis, may their names be obliterated, / and part of whom were buried in mass grave / here in this cemetery / May their souls be bound in the bundle of life.
