In the interwar period, ammunition and supply warehouses for the defense of Warsaw and Modlin were located here. Warehouses with unused stocks were blown up by Polish soldiers retreating to Warsaw in September 1939 r. The Germans later demolished the remaining buildings and chose this place for mass executions.

Guard-house, Explosion, Powder magazine). There are buried in the cemetery approx. 2200 people murdered by the Germans in the period from December 1939 r. to July 1943 mainly in the Kampinos Forest. The cemetery was arranged according to a partially completed design. Ewa Śliwińska at the end of the 1940s.

The remains of the execution victims were then exhumed from the mass graves found in the forest to the cemetery under construction. The remains of victims from other execution sites were also transferred to the cemetery, m. in. from the Chojnowskie Forests. The graves of the execution victims were carefully masked by the Germans, however, thanks to the markings used by Polish foresters, it was possible to find after the end of the war: 21 the grave near the Palmirskie cemetery (1793 victims), 4 in Laski (115 victims), 3 on Łużu (83 victims), 1 on the Swedish Mountains (96 victims), 1 in Wólka Węglowa (15 victims) i 3 in Stefanów (102 victims). Places of graves, From which the remains of the victims were exhumed, are now marked with concrete crosses. Most of the murdered were men (only bodies identified 17 women).
