Located next to the no longer functioning Edmund Szyc Stadium, which served as a forced labour camp for Jews during WWII, the square was re-named in 2014 to commemorate those deemed Righteous by the State of Israel. A simple obelisk dedicated to the camp's inmates, many of whom met a tragic end, stands in one corner; there are plans to add a second monument dedicated to the Righteous in 2017.
