At Skogslyckans Kyrkogard municipal cemetery in Växjö there is a mass grave of victims of 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. On arrival in Sweden, the evacuees were sent for treatment or convalescence, but despite care, some of them died of exhaustion and acquired diseases. Those who died here between 1945 and 1946 are buried in the grave, with 5 prisoners from Poland, 4 from Estonia, 1 from Belgium and 1 from Germany. The grave bears a stone plaque on which the names of those buried are inscribed along with information about their country of origin, the sign of the cross and the dates "1945-1946".
