Krasilov - Commemoration of Jewish Victims
Commemoration
In 1944, shortly after the liberation of Krasilov town and Krasilov County by the Red Army, the surviving Jews from the town came to the mass graves in the Manevtsy forest and fenced them off. Sometime afterwards three monuments were erected at these three mass graves. Two of them are identical and located in the forest. The third one is located in a field next to the forest. Jews from Krasilov came to the site annually to commemorate their dear ones.
