The monument takes the form of an enamel metal plaque of oval shape with approximate dimensions of 60 x 75 cm. On a black background, a bilingual inscription in Czech and German is displayed in white letters. The two identical language versions are separated by a horizontal line with Magen David in the middle. The monument is placed on a tree in dense vegetation, where it almost disappears in the surroundings.

Postoloprtská (Lenešická) bažantnice

Zde byl v letech 1943–1945 tábor pro
židovské míšence a ty, kteří nezapřeli
své blízké. Na konci května a v červnu 1945
byly prostory tábora zneužity ke zbytečnému
týrání, lynčování a zabíjení civilního německého
obyvatelstva československou armádou.
Vzpomeňme obětí, mysleme na smíření mezi námi.

Postelberger (Leneschitzer) Fasanengarten.

An dieser Stelle befand sich 1943–1945 ein Lager für
Menschen „halbjüdischer“ Abstammung. Ende Mai
und im Juni 1945 wurde das Lager zum Schauplatz
sinnlosen Quälens, Lynchens und Tötens an der
Deutschen Zivilbevölkerung durch die tschecho-
slowakische Armee. Erinnern wir uns an die
Opfer und denken an die Versöhnung.

The Pheasantry of Lenešice near Postoloprty in North Bohemia became the scene of two war crimes in the 1940s. During the Nazi occupation, specifically from 1943 to April 1945, there was a camp for "mixed Jews" near the present-day settlement of Stříbrník on the outskirts of Postoloprty. The camp served primarily for detention of men who only partially met the definition of "a Jew" according to the so-called Nuremberg Laws, or the husbands of women who were of "Jewish origin". The camp consisted of 15 wooden barracks. Its average capacity was approximately 900 people, but the maximum occupancy was up to 1,200. In total, approximately 1 500 people of mostly Czech nationality passed through the camp, but there were also a few prisoners of German nationality. The internees were deployed in the construction of the Žatec airfield and in the liquidation of the consequences of the bombing in the Most and Litvínov regions. The camp was dissolved in April 1945, when the Soviet troops were approaching the area.
In May-June 1945, the Pheasantry became the site of a massacre of the Sudeten German civilian population – one of the most serious incidents of the expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia. 763 victims have been identified, but the total number of victims is probably even higher, as the investigation of the case was halted by the communist coup in 1948. This fact makes the memory of the war and post-war events in Postoloprty still highly sensitive today.
In 2010, a memorial plaque for the German victims of the post-war violence was placed on the wall of the Postoloprty cemetery, but in the opinion of a group of local activists such monument was "too vague and unspecific" and it omitted the existence of the camp for mixed-race Jews. Led by Petr Zemánek, a teacher and castellan of two nearby castles, Žebrák and Točník, the group attempted to resolve the dilemma by placing an alternative monument in the form of a wooden cross on the site of two mass graves. The cross was erected on 10 May 2010.
In 2021, the same group attempted to place an enamel plaque with an identical inscription directly on the site of the Pheasantry of Lenešice, but their plan failed due to the landowner's disapproval. The plaque with an inscription commemorating both the imprisonment of the mixed-race Jews and the post-war events was therefore placed at a nearby crossroads during the commemorative march in 2022. As Petr Zemánek writes: "With the permission of the Forests of the Czech Republic, we then erected a commemorative enamel plate ('as a boundary marker between the Sudetenland and the Protectorate') with a reminder of the Jewish and German camps." The inscription on the previously erected cross at the site of the mass graves of the Sudeten Germans was subsequently modified to more accurately describe the site, and so it ceased to function as a Shoah monument. This has been taken over by the plaque that is the subject of this entry. The plaque is located approximately 3.6 km from the older cross in an area directly adjacent to the site of the former camp.
