The monument stands in Teréza Nováková Street on a carefully selected place in the park below an old evangelic school. The artwork takes the form of a stylized steel charred bush which symbolizes the fate of the Jewish citizens. Also, the metaphore relates generally to the genocide of one human race, whose structure the bush symbolizes by its shape. The bush is only starting to revive, with four tiny new leaves cast in bronze. The whole construction is made of components welded from steel logs. A metal plaque with text accompanying the monument is inserted in a low concrete wall that separates the grassy slope from the sidewalk.

ŽIDOVSKÝM OBČANŮM PROSEČE – OBĚTEM HOLOCAUSTU – (1939- 1945) BREITENFELDOVI, ČERVINKOVI, KOPPERLOVI, KOSINEROVI A POLÁKOVI

The initiative to build a monument to the victims of the Holocaust came from the Proseč municipality at the turn of 2012 and 2013 at a meeting of the town council. Until then, there was no monument to the more than thirty Proseč citizens of Jewish origin who, with one exception, lost their lives during the Nazi genocide. The idea for the project was conceived when the town granted honorary residence status to the Fleischmann family. First, on 28 February 2012, the status was awarded in memoriam to Rudolf Fleischmann as a special token of appreciation for his meritorious effort to grant the right of residence in Czechoslovakia to the German writers Thomas Mann, Heinrich Mann and their families. After Rudolf Fleischmann, the honorary residence in Proseč was awarded to his daughters, Lady Milena Grenfell-Baines and Eva Paddock, for their outstanding lifetime achievements, particularly in spreading the good name of our country abroad, for their charitable work and for their contribution to the publicity of Sir Nicholas Winton's heroic deeds. Both Milena and Eva co-organised the journey of the historic Winton train from Prague to London. Along with the Fleischmans, the town also commemorated other Jewish families: the Kosiner family, the Kopperl family, who founded the first pipe manufactory and later a pipe factory, the Breitenfeld family and the Polák family.
The monument was unveiled on 31 October 2015. The ceremony was attended by representatives of the town, the creators of the monument, the director of the Terezín Memorial and the chairman of the Jewish Community in Prague, Jan Munk, who is a native of Proseč and a descendant of one of the local Jewish families. Also attending were the pastors of both local parishes – Catholic and Evangelical. The unveiling of the monument was also of great interest to the public. The cost of its construction was CZK 120,000.
The burning bush that is not consumed by fire is a symbol of the Jewish people. This is how the rabbis interpret the biblical text from the Second Book of Moses: "he saw the bush burning with fire, yet the bush is not consumed by the fire" (3:2, translated by Rabbi Ephraim Sidon). The apparent overuse of the word "bush" in this verse places special emphasis on it, and is interpreted precisely as meaning that the burning bush that is not consumed is a picture of the enemies not being able to destroy Israel (see the post-rabbi commentary on Exodus Rabbah 2:5).
