Palmiry Cemetery, Memorial cemetery in Palmiry, Poland

The memorial cemetery contains the remains of over 2,000 Polish citizens executed by Nazi forces in the Kampinos Forest during World War II.

Between 1939 and 1943, German occupying forces conducted 21 mass executions in this location, targeting members of the Polish resistance and intellectual elite.

The site includes a museum displaying photographs, documents, and personal belongings of victims, representing the systematic persecution of Polish society during the occupation.

Located 30 kilometers northwest of Warsaw, the memorial museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM with free admission.

Polish forest workers marked trees near execution sites during the war, enabling later identification and exhumation of mass graves by the Polish Red Cross.
