Restoration of the General Holocaust Memorial at LITIN Jewish Cemetery

Former Litiners living in the US, collected money for restoration of the General mass execution Monument , which by this time was on the verge of full destruction. Simon made a special trip for the replacement of the old one. But the destiny of three others is under a big threat - the concrete crumbles, the fence is corroded, and local authorities don't have both funds to restore it.
