The monument is located in the southeastern part of the cemetery in Horní Dvořiště near the southern fence wall. It is oriented towards the north facing the cemetery grounds. Its southern side adheres to the unplastered stone wall of the cemetery. The memorial is delineated by a double rectangular bed lined with concrete kerbs. On the concrete rectangular base rests a cubic plinth of burnt bricks stacked in a stretcher bond. This is surmounted by another narrower block constructed of burnt bricks in a head bond. The height of the monument exceeds the cemetery wall. The northern side of the block is broken in the axis by a niche in which there is a memorial plaque fixed in four places with screws with gold caps. Capitals drawn in gold paint are used for the inscription on the plaque.

In 1947, the German part of the cemetery in Horní Dvořiště, became the resting place for the remains of 14 martyred prisoners from the train evacuation transport No. 92420 from the Auschwitz concentration camp. The victims were mostly Jews from Poland, Germany, France, the Czech Republic, Holland, Belgium and probably other countries. This transport, which passed through Horní Dvořiště, Kaplice and Netřebice railway stations on 25 January 1945, was destined for the Mauthausen concentration camp. However, because the camp was overcrowded, the train was sent back the following day. During the journey, many prisoners died due to the harsh transportation conditions and the dead were thrown off the train, so the railroad was lined with dead bodies. Local municipalities were instructed by the police to bury the bodies found on their territory immediately, and right at the place where they were found. Therefore, several mass graves were created along the railroad. The bodies collected in the area between Horní Dvořiště – Kaplice-nádraží were buried in a mass grave in Kaplice railway station.
Shortly after the war (1945–1946), the remains of the martyred prisoners were exhumed (some of them were identified by their prison numbers) and subsequently buried in Horní Dvořiště, Omlenice and Netřebice. (See the database entries Monument to the victims of the death train, Omlenička and Monument to the victims of a death train, Netřebice.)
A memorial plaque was not installed above the mass grave in Horní Dvořiště until several years later in the 1950s. The initiator was probably the local National Committee, as in other cases in the area. In the 1970s the monument was renovated.
In the 1990s, local historian Pavel Mörtl noted that the memorial had not been maintained for a long time. On the basis of this impulse, the then mayor Zdeněk Keménny arranged for the adaptation and restoration of the monument. In April 2015, the monument was reconstructed again with funds from the Horní Dvořiště Municipality, the work was provided by the company Stavební práce Mikeš from Římov.
