Dąbrowa [dɔmˈbrɔva] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wieluń, within Wieluń County, Łódź Voivodeship, in south-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) north-west of Wieluń and 89 km (55 mi) south-west of the regional capital Łódź.
History[edit]
In 1827, it had a population of 174.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1940, the German gendarmerie carried out expulsions of Poles, who were placed in a transit camp in Łódź, and then young Poles were deported to forced labour in Germany and German-occupied France, and others were deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland.[3] Houses and farms of expelled Poles were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[4]
