Inscription (Ukrainian)

За часи фашистської окупації
тут були жорстоко вбиті
чоловіки, жінки, старі та діти
тільки тому, що вони були євреями.

Цього не повинно повторитися.

Вічна памʼять загиблим.

Translation: During the times of the fascist occupation, men, women, elderly people and children were brutally killed here, only because they were Jews. This should not happen again. Eternal memory to the Victims.
