Stake attention in this memory
This media file shows a memorial stone with a plaque in Ukrainian. The plaque commemorates victims of Nazi occupation in Sumy during World War II. The stone is large and rough, with grey and white rock textures, and is set on a patterned paving stone surface. Behind the stone, a grassy area with trees suggests an outdoor setting, possibly a park or a public square. The time of day appears to be daytime, with dappled sunlight casting shadows on the paving stones. The text on the plaque details the atrocities committed by the German fascist invaders in Sumy. It states that 8600 people were killed or tortured, including those burned alive in the city's vegetable storage. It also mentions the destruction of 29 enterprises, 24 industrial artels, and 148 state and communal institutions, including schools, a technical college, a museum, and residential buildings. The total damages are listed as 160,924,600 rubles (in 1937 prices). The memorial stone itself was erected in September 2005, marking the 350th anniversary of Sumy's founding and the 60th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945). A prominent star symbol is present on the plaque, likely representing the Soviet Union or its military. The overall tone of the media file is solemn, reflecting the historical tragedy being commemorated.
