This is a photo of a second view of the centennial monument in Chortitza. 1789-1889. It was erected by the Chortitza municipality. It must have been 1938 when the Soviets secretly removed the monument and had it buried one night. On the place where this monument had been, another one, in honor of Lenin, was set. During the German occupation the burial place of the centennial monument became known. It was excavated and set on its original place. There it stood when our people had to leave. Today there is no trace of it left. [HR 113]
