In December 2005 a black labradorite monument was erected near Toikut village, at the shooting site of the Jews of Niesuchojeże. The funding came from The Association of Cultural-national Associations of Ukraine and the Jewish Foundation of Ukraine. The Ukrainian inscription on the monument, that is topped with a Star of David, says:

"Here lie the remains of the Jewish residents of the town of Niesuchojeze and the surrounding villages who were shot to death by the [German] Fascists and [Ukrainian auxiliary] police in August 1942. Eternal memory to the innocent victims!"

The monument was fenced off and has been taken care of since 2005.
