In 1994, Holocaust survivors from the city of Hrubieszow, Henry Orenstein's hometown, sought to erect a memorial for their loved ones in the cemetery where the Jews of the city were murdered and buried. Henry and Susie Orenstein donated the funds to erect the monument. Avraham Silberstein, Henry's close friend who was also born in Hrubieszow, and lost most of his family in the war, planned and built the monument, which was recognized by the Polish government as a historical site. The monument was built from the remains of tombstones that were used over the years as paving stones for the city streets after being uprooted from the Jewish cemetery.
