The Barbarka War Memorial


This striking statue of a fallen figure now stands in the Barbarka forest, close to the cemetry of Poles shot by the Nazis. Over a period of several months in 1939 the Nazis shot over 600 citizens from ToruĊ„ and the surrounding area. Their bodies were buried in mass graves deep within the forest.
