Augustów Roundup (also: July Roundup) - a military operation carried out in July 1945 by units of the Red Army (50th Army), troops of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union (NKVD) and separate units of the Polish People's Army and the Security Office.

Its aim was to break up and liquidate the units of the independence and anti-communist underground in the Suwałki and Augustów area. The Augustów roundup is sometimes called "Little Katyn

The monument was unveiled on September 21, 2020.

The Augustów Roundup is the largest and still unsolved post-war crime committed against Poles after World War II. In July 1945, the Russians deported and murdered the inhabitants of the northern part of the current Podlaskie Voivodeship. The whereabouts of the victims' graves are still unknown.

The initiator of the construction of monuments commemorating the victims of the Roundup was the President of the Association for the Remembrance of the Victims of the Augustów Roundup of 1945, Rev. Prelate Stanisław Wysocki.
