At Östra Kyrkogarden Cemetery there is a Polish cemetery section, where concentration camp prisoners evacuated from Germany as part of the Swedish Red Cross relief operation in 1945 are buried. This action was organised and initiated by Count Folke Bernadotte, vice-chairman of the Swedish Red Cross, and its common name - 'White Buses' - comes from the colour of the vehicles used to transport the evacuees. Upon arrival in Sweden, the evacuees were sent for treatment or convalescence, but despite the care, some of them died of exhaustion and acquired diseases. Of those who died between 1945 and 1946, 21 people were buried in single graves marked with name plates, while 13 people (including 3 unknown, probably not only Poles) were buried in a mass grave. In later years, Poles who died in exile were also buried in the cemetery, including former prisoners of German concentration camps who had settled in Sweden. A commemorative cross with the inscription in Swedish and Polish "To the Faithful Daughters and Sons of the Church and Poland, victims of the concentration camps" was placed in the middle of the cemetery. Next to the quarters is a stone with several plaques in memory of the victims of German concentration camps and Soviet terror.
