A ghetto was established in Kamin Kashyrskyi on June 1, 1942 [Yad Vashem]. The Nazis murdered approximately 2,515 Jews in the Jewish cemetery in Kamin Kashyrskyi on August 10 and in November 1942 [Tsal Kaplun Foundation].

Probably, the first Holocaust monument in Kamin Kashyrskyi was erected in 1987, because according to Yurii Perohanych, there are three mass graves of Jews, protected by the government, and one of them with a name "Mass Grave of the Soviet Citizens of Jewish Nationality" dated 1987. However, it is unclear, where it was located and if it still exists. 

Today, four Holocaust monuments remain in Kamin Kashyrskyi. Jewish Natives of the city from Israel and the US erected one of them at the entrance to the Jewish ghetto in July 1992. Later in the same year, they installed two more monuments at the killing sites. One of these memorials is located in a forest, another one is in the Jewish cemetery [ESJF]. The fourth monument is a plaque, dedicated to the Jewish Victims of the Holocaust from Mala Hlusha, whose remains were reinterred to the killing site in the Jewish cemetery [Yad Vashem].

Local authority representatives lay flowers to the Holocaust monuments in Kamin Kashyrskyi on the International Holocaust Remembrance Day (January, 27) ["Trahediia Holokostu: Kamin-Kashyrshchyna pamiataie"].
