The cemetery contains the graves of civilians murdered in various circumstances during the Second World War. Resting here, among others, are some of the inhabitants of the village of Koniuchy, murdered during the bloody pacification of this village by Jewish-Soviet partisans in January 1944.

One of the tombstone inscriptions reads: "Ś.P. / [name illegible] / Here rests / at the age of 51 / fallen on 22 June 1941 (?) / as a victim of the war / German-Bolshevik / [illegible] / wife and children / Peace to his soul".
