Graves of Poles from World War II in the so-called Polish Cemetery

Aalen | Germany

In the central part of the Wasseralfingen municipal cemetery in Aalen (Baden-Württemberg) there is a large section of Second World War war graves, known as the Polish Cemetery. 66 Polish citizens rest here, including 33 prisoners of the Wiesendorf concentration camp (a branch of KL Natzweiler) in Aalen, who were deported to Germany during the Warsaw Uprising and died between 27 September 1944 (the date of arrival of the first transport of prisoners from KL Dachau) and February 1945 (the date of the camp's liquidation), as well as forced labourers and their children who died during the war and in the post-war period.
In 2020-2021, the Polish-German Reconciliation Foundation, within the framework of a task subsidised 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": https://polskiegroby.pl/cmentarz.php?jez=pl&cmentarzok=929&miejsceok=1042&landok=1
