Who is Commemorated?
The Six Million Jews killed in the Holocaust
Description
This monument takes the form of a grave, much like the ones surrounding it in the cemetery. A trapezoidal base surrounded by low brick columns supports a headstone-shaped stele covered in white plaster. The 'headstone' has a Magen David inscribed into it, and a niche covered in glass contains a memorial plaque and a candle holder with six slots.
