Dachau concentration camp victims' quarters (Ehrenhain I) in the Perlacher Forst cemetery

The Perlacher Forst cemetery is the largest burial site in Germany for Polish citizens - victims of the Second World War. In the Ehrenhain I section 3996 urns containing the ashes of concentration camp prisoners of various nationalities and victims of the Nazi euthanasia programme from the Sonnenstein, Bernburg, Grafeneck and Hartheim centres are buried. More than 3,000 urns contain the ashes of victims of the Dachau concentration camp. The ashes of prisoners from the concentration camps Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Mauthausen and Flossenbürg are also located here. 3972 people are known by name. 2009 of those resting at Perlacher Forst are Polish citizens - prisoners of Dachau Concentration Camp who lost their lives between 1940 and 1942. Among them are 216 Polish clergy of various denominations. Seven of them - Ludwik Roch Gietyngier, Stefan Grelewski, Stanisław Kubski, Emil Schramek, Narcyz Turchan, Michał Woźniak, Antoni Zawistowski - were proclaimed blessed by the Catholic Church in 1999 among the 108 martyrs of the Second World War. The quarters were established by the City of Munich in 1950. 3996 urns with ashes, which were found after the war in the crematorium of Munich's East Cemetery, were deposited under 44 slabs. A fountain with a mosaic depicting the gate to paradise and the stone of hope was placed in the centre of the quarters. A stone with a laconic inscription in German was then placed in the quarters: "Last resting place of 4092 victims of National Socialist lawlessness. Respect for the dead, a constant warning for the living". The victims resting in the quarters remained anonymous, as there was no named commemoration. The Ministry of Culture and National Heritage supported the restoration of the quarters by subsidising the project of the "Polish-German Reconciliation" Foundation in 2020-2021 within the framework of the Minister's Programme "Sites of National Remembrance Abroad". The Foundation carried out archive searches to establish the actual number of Polish citizens and their relevant personal data. The final result of the activities, carried out together with the German partner, the "Bavarian Memorials" Foundation - is the setting up of plaques with the names of all those buried and information boards in Polish, English and German. The opening of the new commemoration took place on 1 September 2021, and the ceremony was attended by, among others, the Deputy Minister of Culture Jarosław Sellin, representatives of the Bavarian authorities, the Consul General of the Republic of Poland in Munich, Jan M. Malkiewicz, and the Munich Polish community. More information about the cemetery is available on the website of the project 'Polish memorials and war graves in Germany' www.polskiegroby.pl, implemented by the 'Polish-German Reconciliation' Foundation with funding from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage programme 'Places of National Remembrance Abroad'. Compiled based on information by the "Polish-German Reconciliation" Foundation
