No official name.

Who is Commemorated?
The Jews of Bukovina, Romania (today divided between Romania and Ukraine), who perished in the Holocaust.

Description:
The monument is located in the Southern Alley of Holocaust Memorials in Kiryat Shaul Cemetery, along with dozens of other Holocaust memorials built by Landsmannschaft organizations, survivors, and relatives. The monument consists of an abstract architectural composition made of light-colored stone slabs arranged in angular geometric forms. The structure is composed of several intersecting vertical elements of varying heights, creating a fragmented Star of David -like configuration when viewed from the front. The monument stands on a polished dark stone base. The monument bears Hebrew inscriptions honoring the community's memory. The community name is emphasized through the use of a larger font size. Inscriptions indicate that the monument contains the scroll with the names of the community's victims, who perished in the Holocaust.
