Memorial to the prisoners of war

Monument to prisoners of war
russia, Yekaterinburg
The POW Memorial is a memorial to the victims of World War II near the Shirokaya Rechka cemetery in Yekaterinburg. It was restored in 2009 at the expense and under the project of the German public organization "People's Union of Germany for the Care of War Graves". There is a memorial cross and two granite slabs, where the names of dozens of places of burial of prisoners of war in the Urals are carved in Russian and German. Every year on November 14, solemn events are held here to mark the Day of Remembrance for all the victims of World War II.

In November 2009, near the Shirokorechenskoye cemetery on the 7th kilometer of the Moskovsky Trakt, a renovated, modest memorial to the prisoners of war of the Second World War was opened. This is an integral page of the Great War and it must be understood that it is dedicated to people, and not to fascist ideas. The Shirokorechenskoe cemetery was chosen by the "People's Union of Germany for the Care of War Graves" as the central memorial place for 13 thousand prisoners of war of the German, Hungarian, Romanian, Italian, Japanese armies who fought on the side of Nazi Germany.
