The monument is located at the site of the former ghetto in Volodymyr-Volynskyi. It is an upright stele featuring a Magen David, carved against the backdrop of a relief depicting a Jewish family. A plaque with Hebrew and Ukrainian inscriptions is attached to the stele beneath the image of the family. A protrusion on the left side of the stele replicates the corner of a brick wall.
