Mass Grave , Topolna Street
Mass Grave used by NKVD 1939-1941 & 1944-1955, the site was unknown until a developer found the remains while preparing to build houses. normal NKVD practise was to build houses over such grave sites ensuring they would never be found. for whatever reason this did not happen in the case of Topolna Street
