History

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]
