Description | : | Site of the former POW Camp 289. More than 800 German POWs died here while working forced labor in the shale oil mines. After the war, this cemetery was party destroyed and built over. In 1999, the German War Graves Commission together with Estonian counterparts restored this site. A main cross of metal has three steles on each side bearing the names of the 870 dead who rest there. In 2010, the 4 memorial tablets from Kukruse were also placed here, to protect them from vandalism. |
