During the Second World War, the largest of the nine concentration camps in the city of Kremenchuk was located at the place where the memorial is now located
On September 28, 1973, on the 30th anniversary of the liberation of the city of Kremenchuk, a memorial was solemnly opened near the KrAZ Palace of Culture.
The basis of the memorial is a sculptural group tinted with silver metal, mounted on a stepped pedestal made of red granite. The Eternal Flame burns near the pedestal. Behind the sculptural composition is a concrete stele with the inscription “Eternally alive”, lined with red granite tiles.
The sculptural group compositionally consists of seven figures – five male, one female and one child. The figure of a doctor-prisoner of war with a proudly raised head is central. He supports his exhausted comrade and seems to say: “I die, but I don’t give up!”.
