Golm War Cemetery is a German military burial ground from World War II, located near Świnoujście on the island of Usedom. The site contains the graves of over 20,000 soldiers and civilians, many killed in the final months of the war. Visitors walk among simple stone markers set in a peaceful, wooded area, with a central memorial cross and a documentation center that provides historical context. The cemetery is a place of quiet remembrance, offering a sobering contrast to the nearby seaside resorts, and is maintained by the German War Graves Commission.
