Cementery, Palmiry, Kampinoski National Park, Mazovian Voivodeship, Poland

---

Palmiry is a small village in Poland in Mazovian Voivodeship, near Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki, north of Warsaw. It is located at the edge of the Kampinos Forest and as of 2000 it had approximately 220 inhabitants. During World War II, between 1939 and 1943, the village and the surrounding forest was one of the sites of German mass executions of Polish intelligentsia, politicians and athletes, killed during the AB Action. Most of the victims were first arrested and tortured in the Pawiak prison in Warsaw, and then transferred to the execution site. Altogether, the remains of at least 2115 men and women were exhumed, but it is probable that not all bodies were found. (source: Wikipedia)
