A commemorative stele in gray stone erected in the area of the former Plaszow concentration camp. The monument, surrounded by a small fence with green chains on a red brick base, bears an inscription commemorating the camp victims. Fresh flowers and votive candles are placed at the foot of the stele, testimony to the still-living memory in the community. The surrounding landscape, with dry grass and winter vegetation, shows how the area is today a place of meditation and memory, visited by those who want to pay tribute to the thousands of people who lost their lives here.
