On 22 August 1944 a number of villages in the Amari valley were attacked by German units.
The residents were forced to leave their homes. Men were, according to some prepared list,
and sometimes for no apparent reason, separated and executed by their families. On the monument 38 names are mentioned,
including four women who were murdered by the Germans on this day. Most of the houses and the church were destroyed.
