In the cemetery by the church in Skrochovice (Czech Skrochovice, municipality of Brumovice) to the right of the entrance gate is the mass grave of 13 Poles, victims of the German internment camp in Skrochovice. The camp was in operation from September to December 1939 and housed mainly residents of Těšín Silesia and Upper Silesia, as well as a group of Jewish prisoners. The camp was located in a former sugar factory building, which was surrounded by a barbed wire fence. The camp's commandant was SS-Hauptsturmführer Heinrich Jöckl, who later became the commandant of the Gestapo police prison in Mala Terezin. The function of caretakers in the camp was performed by 25 Sudeten Germans, who beat and kicked the prisoners upon their arrival. According to estimates, there were around 700-900 people in the camp when it was in operation, including the writer Gustaw Morcinek (1891-1963), the Polish painter, teacher and social activist Gustaw Fierla (1896-1981) and the headmaster of the faculty school in Łazy in Zaolzie, Franciszek Toman. Some of the prisoners were taken to concentration camps at Sachsenhausen, Ravensbrück. Thirteen people died in the camp; their bodies were buried in the garden of the sugar factory. In May 1946 the bodies were exhumed and buried in the Skrochowice cemetery in a mass grave. The gravestone monument, unveiled in 1967, is composed of two plaques with the inscription "1939 Skrochovice" between them. The left plaque bears the inscription in Czech and Polish "Věčná paměť polským obětem německého fašismu" / "For the eternal memory of the Polish victims of German fascism"; the right plaque bears the names of the murdered with their daily date of death.
