This monument is situated in the village of Kaberneeme.
Unveiled in 1960, it remembers the Jews killed in the concentration camp at Jägala in 1942 and 1943. It was designed by P. Madalik.
Jägala concentration camp was established by the German regime in August 1942. Approximately 2200 prisoners were taken there by train from across Europe in September that year. Most of them were shot on arrival at the nearby Kalevi-Liiva training area; the rest were put to work. Around 2000 people were killed in total. The camp was closed in September 1943 and the remaining prisoners were relocated to Tallinn Central Prison in the Patarei Sea Fortress.
