Hujowa Górka, Holocaust execution site in Kraków, Poland
The site contains a deep hexagonal pit measuring 50 meters in circumference and 5 meters deep, marked by a wooden cross with barbed wire.
From late summer 1943 until February 1944, German forces conducted systematic executions at this location, where victims were shot and buried in mass graves.
The location name derives from SS officer Albert Hujar, combining his surname with 'górka', meaning small hill in Polish, creating an unintentional double meaning.
Visitors can reach the memorial site within the former Płaszów concentration camp grounds, near other World War II historical locations in Kraków.
The ground contains remnants of an Austrian military fortification that was dismantled in the 1930s, creating the deep pit later used for executions.
