Buried at Norra Kyrkogarden Cemetery are 33 prisoners from German concentration camps who were evacuated from Germany as part of the Swedish Red Cross relief effort in 1945. The effort was initiated and organised by Count Folke Bernadotte, vice-chairman of the Swedish Red Cross, and was colloquially known as the 'White Buses'. - comes from the colour of the vehicles used to transport the evacuees. Upon arrival in Sweden, the evacuees were sent for treatment or convalescence, but despite care, some of them died of exhaustion and acquired diseases. Among the 33 buried in this cemetery, 29 are Poles who died between 1945 and 1946. On the initiative of Zdzisław Kotliński, a former concentration camp prisoner, a commemorative plaque was founded by the Council for the Protection of Remembrance and Martyrdom in 1994. It bears the names of all 33 people buried (29 Poles and prisoners of other nationalities) and an inscription in Polish and Swedish: "Here lie the prisoners of the Nazi concentration camps of World War II 1939-1945 victims of the greatest genocide in the history of humanity".
