A refugee centre for Poles in Câmpulung-Muscel was organised in the second half of September 1939. The military internees were accommodated in private quarters, creating a so-called "closed camp". In October 1939, the number of internees exceeded one thousand. Over time, the camp was liquidated, mainly due to numerous escapes. A centre for civilian refugees was also organised in Câmpulung.Nine Polish graves were found in the local cemetery in the 1970s, and in 1976 the bodies were exhumed and moved to a mass grave in the same cemetery. Information from the family of Stanisław Siekańec, an air mechanic of the 2nd Airborne Regiment who died in Câmpulung on 19.10.1939, gave rise in 1971 to the interest of the then Council for the Protection of Monuments to Struggle and Martyrdom in Romanian refugee graves. Until then (based on information from the Embassy of the Polish People's Republic in Bucharest), it was believed that there were no Polish graves from the Second World War on Romanian territory.The obelisk on the mass grave has the form of a rectangle with the names on it. The base is a wider block with an inscription in two languages. The Polish text: "TO THE MEMORY OF SOLDIERS AND POLISH CITIZENS / WHO DIED DURING THE YEARS OF WORLD WAR II / IN CÎMPULUNG MUSCEL".
