Translation: Mass grave of the Jews – Victims of the German fascists (approximately 3.5 thousand people)

Who is Commemorated?

Jewish Holocaust Victims from Lanivtsi 

The monument is located in the Jewish cemetery in Lanivtsi near two mass graves. It is a concrete rectangular slab with a brown arched recess, within which there is an image of a grieving woman. Below, a Ukrainian inscription is carved, which does not mention specific information about the events and the ethnicity of the Victims. A metal plaque, attached later between the image and the Ukrainian inscription, bears a Hebrew inscription.
