    The site of the mass execution of 112 prisoners from the Sanok prison on July 5/6, 1940 is located on the right side of the road when traveling from Tarnawa to Huzele. The landmark is the timber yard on the right, where you can park your car without disturbing forest workers. Then walk several dozen meters towards the town of Huzele and turn sharply to the right along a noticeable grassy road.

      The place is located on the right side of the road when driving from Tarnawa to Huzele. The landmark is the timber yard on the right where you can park your car as long as you don't disturb forest workers. Then walk a few dozen meters towards the town of Huzele and turn sharply to the right along a sloping grassy road, easy to spot if it is mown. Cycling to the execution site itself may be difficult due to crosswise sewage or mud.

      --------------------------------

      On the night of July 5/6, 1940, the Nazis carried out a mass execution of prisoners from the Sanok prison. The victims are patriots who tried to get to Hungary (via the green border) - and further to the West to continue the fight. The victims were also people cooperating in the organization of transfer routes and other people involved in the fight against the fascist occupier. A total of 112 people were murdered.
