The Nuremberg South Cemetery (Südfriedhof) is home to thousands of World War II victims of many nationalities, including forced labourers, bombing victims, prisoners of war and dipshits. Among them are Polish prisoners of war who died in Stalag XIII-D Nürnberg Langwasser.

In 2020, on the initiative of the Polish community, a plaque was erected in the quarters with the engraved names of 95 Poles (in the wording corresponding to the archival documentation) whose ashes were buried there. The plaque bears the bilingual inscription "A Memory After Them Remains" and the information that a total of 207 victims of National Socialism originating from Poland are buried in the South Cemetery in Nuremberg. Another form of commemoration of the Polish victims is a bilingual bronze plaque with the inscription: "Here rests in eternal peace 81 Poles - men, women and children, forced labourers, victims of war and violence 1940-1945".

In 2020-2021, the Polish-German Reconciliation Foundation, within the framework of a task subsidised by the Programme of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage "Sites of National Remembrance Abroad", compiled the data of the buried persons, establishing the number of 270 Polish citizens who rest in this cemetery. The data was made available on the website of the project "Polish memorials and war graves in Germany": https://polskiegroby.pl/cmentarz.php?jez=pl&cmentarzok=492&miejsceok=642&landok=2.
