The beauty of this Ukrainian shtetl is very deceiving. On the last day of our visit to the shtetl we discovered a mass grave in a backyard where some of the shtetl's Jews had been buried alive during the Holocaust. The mass grave was marked with a small memorial plaque with an inscription in Yiddish. (I plan to post pictures of this memorial in the future.)

When was this picture taken?
A few years ago on my trip there.

Both Golus Traveler and Amshinover are correct.
