Who is Commemorated?
Jews of Varakļāni murdered by the Nazis.
Description:
The memorial is a black concrete stele with a white marble plaque. The plaque bears a Star of David with the abbreviation פ"נ, as it is common in Jewish tombstones and similar (but not identical) inscriptions in Yiddish and Russian. These inscriptions are completely identical to the inscriptions on the monument in Preiļi (see here).
