Formula of Grief

The "Formula of Grief" memorial in the square at the intersection of Dvortsovaya and Moskovskaya Streets in Pushkin is dedicated to the memory of the Holocaust victims. The monument project, approved by the Urban Planning Council in 1991, was created from donations by city residents and funds from charity concerts. At mourning ceremonies at the memorial, a memorial prayer and songs in Yiddish are performed, and visitors, following Jewish tradition, leave stones at the base. Flowers are also laid at the monument on May 9 and January 27, the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
