The Rusthof cemetery is located at the Dodeweg 31 in Leusden, the Netherlands. It is the largest cemetery that services the nearby town of Amersfoort.
It is a partly civilian, partly military cemetery. In the military sections are the graves of World War II victims, including 238 soldiers and pilots killed in action from the British Commonwealth, Poland, Belgium and France, also World War II military victims from Yugoslavia, Greece, Hungary, Romania, Portugal, Czechoslovakia and Italy , as well as 865 soldiers from the Soviet Union. A number of Soviet victims came from the nearby Kamp Amersfoort, including 101 Central Asian prisoners. Most of them were Uzbeks or citizens of Samarqand, and were executed in woods near the camp, in April 1942. The Soviet soldiers were eventually reburied in 1947/1948 in what is called "the Russian Honor Field" or "the Soviet Field of Glory".
