Northern Communal Cemetery (Polish: Cmentarz Komunalny Północny) is one of the largest cemeteries in Poland and Europe, located in Młociny and Wólka Węglowa in the Bielany district of Warsaw, Poland. The site for the cemetery was established in the 1960s at the northern outskirts of the city and partly in the area of the village of Wólka Węglowa (hence the colloquial name Cemetery in Wólka, Cmentarz na Wólce). The cemetery was opened in 1973 and so far nearly 180,000 of the dead have been buried here.[1]
