המצבה הבכוה הזאת
נקדשה לזכר כל איש ואיש מחברי ק"ק סומבור, מזקניה וזקנותיה, בחוריה ובתולותיה עד יונקי שדים
שלא חטאו וגמולי מחלב שלא פשעו הנחנקים ונשחטים נהרגים ונשרפים בידי רצחני הפשיזם ונאציזם האכזריוה
ומגואלות בהם בקי של צאן הרשים ומובילה ככליל על מזבח דתה ולאומיותם בשנות המלחמה העולמית השנייה שהיא עת צרה
שלא היתה כמותה ליעקב

Ova spomen-ploča posvećena je svakom pojedinačnom članu somborske jevrejske veroispovedne opštine
počev od staraca i starica pa preko mladića i devojaka sve do nevine odojčadi odvojene od majčinog
mleka i nejake dece, svima onima koji su nemilostivim i oskrnavljevim rukama fašističkih i
nacističkih dželata obešeni, ubijeni, zaklani, spaljeni i odvedeni, koji su mučeničkom smrću kao
žrtve stradali na oltaru za svoju veru i narodnost u godinama Drugog svetskog rata
bezprimernog po svom vandalizmu i bedi u istoriji Izraela
