Polish Veteran-graves Utrecht

(Netherlands, the - Utrecht - Utrecht)

After the Second World War, many Polish soldiers who had fought with the Allies could not return to their fatherland because this was occupied by the Soviet-Union. When they returned, they should be punished.

For these Polish veterans in the Netherlands, a part of the Roman-Catholic Cemetery St. Barbara in Utrecht was reserved. During the years, they were buried here next to each other.
