The Monument to the Victims of the Death March in Prudnik is a memorial site in the municipal cemetery created to honor the prisoners of the Auschwitz concentration camp, murdered during the evacuation of the camp in January 1945, on the road between Charbielin and Gierałcice. These are victims of the so-called death marches, a mass evacuation of about 56,000 prisoners ahead of the approaching Soviet offensive. Several dozen prisoners were shot on the road from Prudnik to Niemysłowice, and their bodies were buried in the Jewish cemetery in Prudnik in 1946. The monument was created in 1968, according to the design of Eng. Chabarowski from the Plastic Arts Studio in Opole. The obelisk depicts a man with a death's head by a concrete fence post. Practical information: The facility can be viewed from the outside. Entrance to the inside exclusively for hotel guests. Free parking spaces on Jana Pawła II Avenue.
