Gedenkstein für die Verstorbenen auf dem Jüdischen Friedhof Smalininkai
A flat pedestal, covered with loose pebbles. An upright tablet in the shape of a Jewish tombstone, rounded at the top. With two panels with inscriptions. Behind it a large erratic boulder of gray-green granite, which gives the whole an irregular round shape. Behind it trees of the adjacent forest and in the background parts of the sports field.

Exterior view of the cemetery seen from the corner of the asphalt road and the dirt road. On the left side there is the archway of the memorial place with the low fence, on the right side in the middle the area with very large and different coniferous trees. In the background modern buildings of the place shimmer through.
