Samoklęski [samɔˈklɛ̃ski] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kamionka, within Lubartów County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland. [1] It lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) south-west of Kamionka, 12 km (7 mi) west of Lubartów, and 25 km (16 mi) north-west of the regional capital Lublin.
Samoklęski was a private village of Polish nobility, including the Ożarowski, Tęczyński, Opaliński, Lubomirski, Sieniawski and Czartoryski families, [2] administratively located in the Lublin Voivodeship in the Lesser Poland Province. Noblewoman Izabela Czartoryska founded a park in Samoklęski. [2] In 1824, the estate was bought by Polish general Jan Weyssenhoff. [2] In 1827, Samoklęski had a population of 331. [3]
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany until 1944. In January 1943, the Germans perpetrated a massacre of 27 Jews and local Pole Bolesław Dąbrowski, who was accused of rescuing Jews from the Holocaust. [4]
