Modern Jewish Art  Holocaust memorial 2 in Sosnove (Ludwipol), Ukraine

The German Army occupied Ludwipol on July 6, 1941. In October 1941, a ghetto was established, where about 1,500 Jews from Ludwipol and surrounding villages were concentrated. During the liquidation of the ghetto on September 26, 1942, the Nazis murdered about 1,000 Jews. Abour 300–400 Jews managed to escape, but the Nazis cought most of them and killed. A number of fugitives hid in a forest around the village, or joined a partisan movement, and survived the war [Encyclopedia]. 

According to Yahad In-Unum, there were two more killing sites in Ludwipol. Six Jews were killed somewhere in a vegetable garden, and a family of a local rabbi was killed near the village clinic.

Shortly after the WWII, Holocaust Survivors from Ludwipol fenced the killing site [Yad Vashem].

The first monument on the killing site was erected in 1993 [Zakaliuk]. 

There are three other monuments on the killing site within the fenced territory around the first one:

• Holocaust memorial in Sosnove (Ludwipol)
• Holocaust memorial 2 in Sosnove (Ludwipol)
• Holocaust memorial in Sosnove (Ludwipol) to the family, murdered near Hlybochok

It is unknown, who and when erected these monuments.

Another monument to the reinterred Victims of the Holocaust in Ludwipol was erected in 1997 near the killing site outside the fenced territory. According to the inscription on the headstone, the delegation of Holocaust Survivors and the descendants of the Victims reinterred here remains of the Jews, murdered in Ludwipol in 1942.

The Head of the Rivne regional state administration included "The Memorial Sign at the Place of Shooting of Citizens of Jewish Nationality" in Sosnove village on The List of Monuments of Archeology, History, and Monumental Art of the Rivne District by his order no. 514 on December 18, 2009. Apparently, it was one of the monuments, mentioned above ["Povnyi perelik..."].
