Jewish Victims of the Holocaust from Stanisławów
Description
This monument is located in the New Jewish cemetery in Ivano-Frankivsk, among the newest graves. It is designed to not stand out among the other graves in the cemetery. A headstone, carved from pink stone and bearing identical inscriptions in Hebrew and Russian on its front and back, sits atop a concrete base surrounded by a metal fence.
The Hebrew and Russian texts include verses from the Av ha-rahamim prayer introduced into Ashkenazi liturgy after the Crusades. The Russian inscription was compiled by a non-native Russian speaker.
