Riebeņi Jews murdered on this site
Description:
The monument on the mass grave of Riebeņi Jews is situated in the middle of a forest. It stands on an edge of the grave marked by a concrete frame.
It is a tombstone, probably Jewish, in secondary use. The black polished granite stele on a pedestal bears an inscription in Russian. Its back side (the front of the original tombstone) was once inscribed with an epitaph (probably Hebrew) to the deceased person which was removed. The front side of the pedestal was also once inscribed with an epitaph (probably in a non-Jewish language), which was removed.
