Translation: In memory of our ostracized and murdered Jewish fellow citizens as a lasting reminder for the living. Site of the former Jewish cemetery. Redesigned in 1988.
Commissioned by
sub-set tree: 
According to the website of the Chewra Kadischa Land Brandenburg, "The first monument was erected there in 1950. The poor maintenance of the site meant that several decades later a thorough redesign seemed sensible. The weathered sculpture of the first version had to be replaced by a life-size sandstone figure. The predecessor of this was apparently dismantled from the dilapidated site in the early 1970s and taken into the care of the branch of the Käthe Kollwitz School."
"On November 3, 2000, the monument was found defaced. The figure is visibly damaged by the weather. Attempts to visually enhance the slope, specifically to plant conifers on the forest floor, have clearly failed."
