In the central part of the new Jewish cemetery, which is an extension of the Kassel Bettenhausen cemetery, Polish and Soviet forced labourers were buried during the Second World War. It is the resting place of 186 Polish citizens.

In 2020-2021, the Polish-German Reconciliation Foundation, as part of a task supported by the Ministerial Programme "Sites of National Remembrance Abroad", compiled data on the buried persons and made it available, together with a description of the cemetery, on the website of the project "Polish Memorials and War Graves in Germany":
