In between 1939-1945 Germans executed ca. 12 000 people in Giełczyn Forest, Podlasie region.
Most of the victims (7 000) were Jews taken from the Łomża ghetto. Polish Red Cross found only 146 bodies during exhumations in 1958 as most of the human remains were burnt in 1944 when Germans were in retreat before Soviets.
