The Monument is located between the village of Čarnaŭčycy (Chernavchitsy) and Mala Turna, north of Brest, as indicated by the white-on-blue Magen David

Notes: It is common to see plastic flowers placed on Jewish monuments in this region, a mark of respect by the people of the area, of whom few --if any-- are Jewish.
