Zakrzewskie Tombs - a group of victims of World War II in the forest area near Zakrzewo (Dopiewo municipality).

According to available reports, mass executions of Polish citizens took place here in 1939-1945. The bodies were buried in the pits forming the collective graves. At the end of the war, the Germans exhumed and burned the bodies of the murdered. In order to obliterate the traces of the pit were filled up and a young forest planted there. As a result of the research conducted in this area, after the war, only the debris of human bones were excavated and few places were found where there were collective graves. The graves were hit by chance - in the burial places the forest began to fall.

So far, no identity has been established and the exact number of victims. It is claimed that it could be between 6 and 8 thousand Poles. The place of their martyrdom death commemorates the collective grave.

The area of ​​the martyrs joins the yellow walking trail on the section from Dąbrówka to Zakrzewo, as well as the cycling trail (partially). On the road information boards were set up. Tombs are located in three places:

In addition to the above, a stone boulder was exhibited at the forester's lodge in Zakrzewo: Passage! Tell the Poles that in the forests of Zakrzewo and Palmier, Nazi occupiers murdered and burned thousands of Poles. Bibliography
