Description
The monument is located in the Jewish cemetery, where mass killings of Jews took place during WWII. The territory of the cemetery, which is included in the memorial complex, is surrounded by a wooden fence. The monument itself is situated outside the fenced area, near the road, dividing the cemetery in two parts. It is a gray granite square plaque with identical Ukrainian, English, and Hebrew inscriptions. A Magen David is carved at the top of the plaque. Several steps lead to the paved area with the plaque. Near the monument, there is a square column with plaques attached to it. They bear information about the Holocaust and the Jewish community in Ostrozhets. An information board with the site plan is also situated near the monument.

В 1941 – 1944 роках єврейське життя в Острожці

німецькими окупантами та підпорядкованими
їм допоміжними службами. На цьому місці було
вбито щонайменше 800 євреїв.
Нехай душі їхні будуть завʼязані у вузол вічного
життя.

Hebrew:
בין השנים 1941 ל-1944, החיים היהודיים באוסטרוז’ץ
ובסביבתה נמחו מעל פני האדמה על ידי הכובשים
הגרמניים והרשויות הכפופות להם. לפחות 800 יהודים
נרצחו באתר זה.
תהא נשמתם צרורה בצרור החיים.
