Niedrzwica Duża [ɲɛdʐˈvit͡sa ˈduʐa] is a village in Lublin County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland. [1] It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Niedrzwica Duża. It lies approximately 20 km (12 mi) south-west of the regional capital Lublin.
History
In 1827, Niedrzwica Duża had a population of 674. [2]
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany. A local unit of the Home Army resistance organization was established. [3] Activities included intelligence, sabotage and an attack on a Baudienst camp in nearby Zemborzyce. [3] In 1944, it took part in the Operation Tempest. [4] In 1944, the village was occupied by the Soviet Union, and the NKVD launched a raid on the Polish resistance. [4] In the village, the Soviets held a show trial of four members of the Polish resistance and sentenced them to death. [4] Other resistance members managed to escape and continued their resistance within the newly formed Freedom and Independence Association. [4] Faced with many losses, they eventually decided to escape under false names through Czechoslovakia to the American-occupied zone of Germany. [4] They were caught by the Czechs at the border and returned to Poland. [4] After returning to Niedrzwica, they continued their resistance, however, they soon relocated to Jelenia Góra and Rybnica, and continued their resistance there. [5]
