This special cemetary in Zamosc is located on a sight where many people were slaughtered by the Nazis during World War 2.
The cemetary is reserved for the bodies of those who fought in the resistance, were in the concentration camps, or were killed on this spot.
The path down the cemetary is lined on either side by several tiers covered by white crosses.
As always, some of the graves have candles to show that some relative or friend still remembers.
Apparently I have a slight fetish for taking pictures of candles.
At the end of the path is a small walled enclosure. In the center is a monument dedicated to those who died in this spot.
More candles.
And again.
The wall around the enclosure is actually a tunnel with small alcoves dedicated to different concentration camps and various factions who helped fight the Nazis.
More of the crosses through an alcove window. There were so many.
The crosses with forever serve as a reminder of what happened in this place and as a monument to those who fought and died to put it to an end.
