Jabłoń-Dobki massacre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jabłoń-Dobki massacre was a Nazi war crime perpetrated by the Ordnungspolizei and Wehrmacht in the village of Jabłoń-Dobki within occupied Poland. On March 8, 1944, the village faced complete destruction, with an estimated 91 to 93 of its inhabitants, predominantly women and children, losing their lives. A significant number of victims were burned alive. This massacre served as a form of retaliation against the civilian population following the killing of a German gendarme during an earlier skirmish with Polish partisans in Jabłoń-Dobki earlier on the same day.
