History
The cemetery in Wola Duchacka was founded in 1922 as the cemetery of the Parish of the Resurrection of the Lord, run by the Resurrectionist Fathers. It was intended for the inhabitants of Łagiewniki and Wola Duchacka. Soldiers who fell in 1939 are buried here, and a separate grave holds the victims of a bomb that exploded on 19 January 1945. The district owes the name Wola Duchacka to the Order of the Holy Spirit, known as the Duchacy, which owned land here.
