Who is Comemmorated?
The 700 Jewish forced laborers from the Bor Mine Forced Labor Camp who were murdered in 1944 in Crvenka
Description
The monument consists of an upright slab on an elongated one-stepped rectangular platform. The platform is partially covered - the covered section creates a path to the slab on which the memorial plaques are mounted. The upright slab is rectangular, made of greyish stone, and bears three plaques of black marble with commemorative inscriptions in Serbo-Croatian, Hebrew, and Hungarian. On the top, it features a menorah and Magen David made of iron designed in a minimalist, geometric mode.
The text of the Serbo-Croatian and Hungarian inscriptions are identical; they both say that 700 Jews from Hungary and Yugoslavia, forced laborers at the Bor mine, who the fascists murdered in October 1944, are buried beneath this monument. The Hebrew inscription is distinct and demands justice for the martyrs' unjust death.
