No official name.

Who is Commemorated?

The Jews of Chorzele, Poland, who perished in the Holocaust.

Description:

The monument is located in the Southeastern Alley of the cemetery, along with dozens of other Holocaust memorials built by Landsmannschaft organizations, survivors, and relatives. The monument consists of a tall, light-colored stone slab. Next to it, there is a low stone structure with a metal Star of David mounted on two thin metal poles. The front of the small structure features a metal door, and on its right side, there is a small metal plaque. At its base, there is a small structure for a memorial candle. All elements stand on a stone base. On the left side of the monument, there is a metal fence, separating it from another monument. The monument bears Hebrew inscriptions honoring the community's memory. The community name is emphasized through the use of a larger font size.
