The monument consists of a black slab standing on a stepped stone base. At the foot of the black slab lies a small horizontal stone slab. Beside the black slab, there is a small stone structure. Surrounding the monument are low stone pillars connected by a metal chain. The monument bears Hebrew inscriptions honoring the community's memory. The community name is emphasized through the use of a larger font size. Inscriptions indicate that the monument contains the scroll with the names and the ashes the community's victims, who perished in the Holocaust.
