Cmentarz - zabytek kultury

Although it is a cemetery, it is a place worth visiting because of its history. We got to know this place while on vacation in the area of ​​Złoty Stok and using the local tourist attraction entitled "Trail of Borderland Pioneers". An electric car styled for the interwar years with a Czech but well-speaking Polish guide named Stado - Stasius took us to the Polish-Czech border and brought, among others in this place. In White Water in the 1950s, the communist authorities of Czechoslovakia created one of several places called internment of nuns. To the destroyed village after its displaced German inhabitants, nuns were forced to be taken from the liquidated monasteries of 16 different orders and congregations, including there were school sisters de Notre Dame, Boromeusz, Norbertine and Franciscan nuns. As a result of communist activities, probably the largest Catholic "monastery" in the world was created here, which during its 40-year existence met more than 1,000 sisters. Many of them were buried at the local cemetery - around 700 religious names can be counted on it. There is also a mass grave of victims of the so-called "death march" from February 1945 from the concentration camp in Oświęcim.
