 The Jews of Slutsk who were killed on February 7-8, 1943 (though Jews are not mentioned in the dedication)

Description

This memorial, set in a small plaza at the center of an empty plot in Slutsk, takes the form of a white [plaster?] obelisk. Its front has a portion protruding from its face, upon which is a plaque that mentions "victims of Nazis" rather than Jews, and the year 1958 is inscribed near the top of the monument. The obelisk is topped with a five-pointed star.
