Stolbtsy Cemetery Holocaust Memorial

Monument

English translation

Here on September 23, 1942, German Nazis and their agents executed 3000 Jews. These peaceful residents of Stolbtsy, men, women and children, were murdered by shooting or by burying them alive. Hundreds of Stolbtsy Jews were killed in the years of War from 1941-1945. Burial places for them are unknown. Let the memory of all the annihilated Jewish community of Stolbtsy be everlasting. Let the memory of these victims be blessed. This monument was constructed by the surviving Jews of Stolbtsy in 1994.
