Who is Commemorated?

The Jews of Skhidnytsia, Poland (Skhidnytsia, Ukraine) 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 is made of stone in the shape of a large cylindrical structure with a sculpted relief on its front. The relief depicts a Star of David behind barbed wire, with houses of a Jewish shtetl in a mountainous background, including a synagogue. Behind the cylinder, there are two stone panels, one on each side, featuring black plaques inscribed with the names of the community’s victims. The entire monument stands on a stone base with a black plaque affixed to it. The monument bears Hebrew inscriptions honoring the community's memory. The community name is emphasized through the use of a larger font size.

Inscription:
