A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a memorial marker attached to rough wooden posts wrapped in barbed wire. A plank is inscribed "OLGA SEGLER" flanked by dates and symbols. Below hangs a dark, leafy wreath with white flowers. In the blurred background, two uniformed men stand behind a mesh fence; the man on the left carries a rifle. A chain runs along the bottom, separating the memorial from a looming wall.
