Jasionowo [jaɕɔˈnɔvɔ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lipsk, within Augustów County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland, close to the border with Belarus.[2] It is located within the historic Suwałki Region (Suwalszczyzna).
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), on August 2, 1943, the Germans pacified the village in an act of anti-Polish revenge after losing an officer in a battle with the Poles. They surrounded the village and shot all the captured villagers, i.e. 58 people, and destroyed houses and outbuildings.[3]
