This monument was unveiled on October 8, 1976, in the eastern part of the City Cemetery in the Upper Town of Senta. It is a work by sculptor Nandor Glid (1924-1997). The remains of five Jewish antifascists hanged on November 11, 1941 (István Gerő, Dénes Löwy, Károly Löwy, István Müller and Mátyás Spiro) were exhumed from the Jewish cemetery and reburied in this collective memorial grave. The monument was erected by the Alliance of the Veterans' Associations of the People's Liberation War.
