Memorial «Yama», Holocaust memorial obelisk in Minsk, Belarus
The Pit Memorial features a black granite obelisk at the bottom of a deep pit, flanked by sculptural figures along descending steps.
In March 1942, Nazi forces executed over 5,000 Jewish residents from the Minsk Ghetto at this location, leading to the memorial's establishment in 1947.
The memorial includes inscriptions in Russian and Yiddish, with sculptures depicting 27 figures including a violinist, children, and a pregnant woman.
Located at the intersection of Zaslavskaya and Melnikaite streets, the memorial site welcomes visitors throughout the year for reflection and commemoration.
The Path of Righteous Men of Belarus near the memorial contains lime trees planted to honor individuals who protected Jews during World War II.
