66). Inscription on the monument in Ludwipol: “In this place on the 13 th -14 th day of the Hebrew month of Elul (August, 1942), the 2000 Jews of Ludwipol and surrounding area were tortured, shot, or buried alive at the hands of the German Fascist murderers and their collaborators. We honor their holy memory”.

67). There is an additional monument at the Ludwipol gravesite. Many years following the mass slaughter, a resident of the city claimed that between two houses were the bodies of 62 murdered Jews. The woman was an eye witness to the killings. After much discussion among local authorities, the area was dug up. The woman was correct. In 1997, the bones were placed in ten coffins and brought to the mass gravesite where they were interred with the other Holocaust victims. This monument commemorates this event.

68). A memorial to the murdered Jews of Hosht. This monument was funded by an American who later became ill and could not return to the area. The Ukrainian engineer did his best with the Hebrew writing to complete the project. Unfortunately, the lettering is not correct.

69). A close-up of the Hosht memorial.

70). The memorial to the 17, 500 slaughtered Jews from the city of Rowne in Sosinka on November 6, 1941. The inscription is written in Yiddish, Hebrew, and Ukrainian.
