"This monument
is in memory of the terrible destruction which was wrought
by the German and Ukraine mass-murderers, in our town of
Zbaraz."
"Our brothers and sisters fell in the thousands--killed,
cremated and asphyxiated,
in the gas and torture chambers of Belzec, Treblinka,
Auschwitz etc."
"Our synagogues and holy places were wrecked and even the
Jewish cemeteries were profaned by their using the memorial
stones for street pavements."

May their souls rest in eternal peace."
