Who is Commemorated?
Jewish Victims of the Holocaust from Horodenka and nearby villages
Description
This memorial is located in the New Jewish cemetery in Horodenka. The upright stele is rounded on top, creating the image of a headstone. At the top of this headstone, there is a Magen David in a circle. Inscriptions in Hebrew and Ukrainian are written with white letters on two separate black plaques, which seem to have been bolted to the headstone sometime after the monument was erected. The plaque with Hebrew inscription bears a blue Magen David at its top. The Hebrew inscription is dedicated to all victims of the Holocaust from Horodenka and neighboring villages, including those who were murdered in Actions, labor and concentration camps, whereas the Ukrainian inscription commemorated only the Jews of Horodenka, who perished during the second Action in Horodenka. The Hebrew inscription also mentions that victims were killed by Nazis and collaborators, while the Ukrainian dedication does not specify this.
