On January 6, 1940, Germany executed approx. 96 Poles, mainly from the Warsaw intelligentsia, in the Szwedzkie Mountains (currently Warsaw-Bemowo). This place, forgotten for years, is now commemorated by annual ceremonies organized by the IPN and local authorities at the monument at the intersection of Westerplatte and Zielony Przylądek streets.
