Who is Commemorated?
Dagda Jews murdered in this place.
Description:
The monument is situated in the southwestern corner of the cemetery. It stands on a terrain that looks like a mass grave, surrounded by a metal fence.
The monument is a black marble obelisk in secondary use. It was probably produced in the beginning of the 20th century. Since there are no similar obelisks or other tombstones of the same scale in the Dagda cemetery, the monument was probably brought from Riga. The original inscription was removed, and a new one, in Russian, was added.
