A new Holocaust monument was unveiled Tuesday in Ukraine.
The monument is located in the village of Loev in western Ukraine, where the Nazis and local collaborators killed more than 2,000 Jews in September 1941.
Its construction was initiated and funded by parliament member Aleksandr Feldman, president of the Jewish Foundation of Ukraine, with the assistance of the local administration.
