The monument is installed by the United Jewish Community of Ukraine (UJCU).
Since 2021, UJCU has been implementing a program to protect/commemorate Jewish cemeteries or their sites by marking them with a memorial monument: a uniform black marble stele with a star of David and an inscription in Ukrainian, English, and Hebrew that identifies the site as a Jewish cemetery. Some monuments, like this one in Hornostaipil, have additional historical information about the community. By the beginning of 2023, 122 marks were installed. [Jewish Heritage Europe]
