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 black granite, shaped like a trapezoid, with the upper part wider than the lower part. It stands on a base composed of three light-colored stones, with the central stone covered by a black granite plaque. To the side of the monument, there is a stone bench and, opposite it, a wooden bench. In front of the monument, two short stone pillars each contain a memorial candle holder. The monument is also surrounded by four short dark metal posts. The monument bears Hebrew and English inscriptions honoring the community’s memory. The community name is emphasized through the use of a larger font size.
