Miłoszów [miˈwɔʂuf] (German: Hartmannsdorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Leśna, within Lubań County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland, on the border with the Czech Republic.[1]
It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) south-west of Leśna, 13 kilometres (8 mi) south of Lubań, and 126 kilometres (78 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.

During World War II the Germans established and operated a subcamp of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp in the village, with around 600 prisoners, mostly Poles.[2] In February 1945, the Germans ordered the evacuation of the camp, during which at least 100 exhausted prisoners were murdered.[2] A group of ill prisoners was left in the camp and later transported to Gross-Rosen on March 19, 1945.[2]
