Borshchev Monument

Return to Memorials to the Martyrs of Skala Who Perished in the Holocaust page


This is a photograph of a monument erected in Borshchiw to memorialize the 2,500 Jews from Skala, Borshchiw, Korolowka, Ozeryany, Mielnitza, Kryvch and nearby villages who were sent to the Borshchiw ghetto in November 1942 and were murdered by the Nazis and their local collaborators in the Spring of 1943 . The monument replaces one that was dedicated in 1991, which had deteriorated in recent years. The new monument was constructed with the generous support of four survivors of the Holocaust: Michael Edelstein and Max  Mermelstein from Skala and brothers Saul and Sam Stermer from Korolowka.
