The Yogle (Yegolsk) camp was one of the six sub-camps of the Borovichi complex of camps no. 270, established by the NKVD in 1941. It was located approximately 12 km north of the town of Borovichi. It was the largest camp included in this complex. The German prisoners of war who stayed here from 1943 called the camp Standlagrem (camp on the sands) because of its location on a sandy hill, but this name was not used by the Poles. In November and December 1944, three large transports of Polish prisoners of war from the areas liberated by the Red Army in the second half of 1944 were brought here. In autumn 1945, as in the other camps of Board 270, a special NKVD commission interrogated the Poles. These became the basis for dividing the internees into two groups: those qualified to return to the country and those destined to remain further in the camps. At the beginning of January 1946, the latter group, consisting of about 200 people, was taken out of Jogły and moved to the camp in Szybotowo. Those in the first group, on the other hand, were sent home in three transports.

The cemetery of the Yogla sub-camp was established in 1944, with the creation of the sub-camp, and functioned until mid-1949, when it was closed down and handed over to the Opieczno district branch of the Soviet Ministry of the Interior (MVD) for further supervision. Between 1951 and 1959 the cemetery was fenced off with a wooden fence and all graves were improved and marked. Unfortunately, in 1967 the condition of the cemetery was poor - the fence was missing and all the graves were unmarked and overgrown with grass.

The cemetery is located about 500 m from the village of Jogła, between the river Msta and the road to Borowicz, 50 m south-west of the municipal cemetery. It occupies an irregular area 75 m long and 35 m wide. It contains 177 mass graves. A total of 465 prisoners are buried in the cemetery, including 306 Germans, 81 (or 96) Poles, 32 Austrians, 30 Hungarians, 5 Estonians, 2 Dutch, 2 French, a Dane, an Armenian and a Ukrainian.

In 1992 a cross was erected here. On 23.07.1997 a cross was unveiled in the cemetery, next to the Polish Home Army soldiers' quarters, together with a memorial plaque in honour of the Hungarian citizens who died in the POW camps (113 Hungarian soldiers died of hunger, exhaustion and disease in the camps in this area). In 2002, with funding from the Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Remembrance, the Jogle monument was supplemented by a plaque with an eagle and a bilingual inscription (Polish and Russian): "To the memory of Poles / more than 600 soldiers of the Home Army / imprisoned in 1944-1947 / died in NKVD-MVD camps No. 270 / buried in this cemetery / and in other places in the Borovichi area / Compatriots 2002".

Since 2013. The OPWiM Council has been making efforts to place plaques in this cemetery with the names of all known Poles who died in the sub-camps of Gulag Complex No. 270, but so far these efforts have not been successful.
