The cemetery is large and therefore the monument and the mass grave is not easy to find, in addition, it is located among forest and other graves. The paths that bind the graves together is spread in all possible directions and it is therefore not easy to know where you’ve been. The easiest way is to ask someone at the cemetery and hope that one knows.
