general info

Łążek Chwałowski

and

Łążek Zaklikowski

The Germans came from the south, setting the village buildings on fire. The inhabitants then began to flee northwards, to the banks of the Sanna River, where they fell into camouflaged German positions and were massacred with machine gun fire. Those who turned back were murdered in the village. Only those who managed to break through the German blockade or found good hiding places for themselves survived. Following the information contained in the announcement of the underground „Information agency” Village of April 4, 1944 (No. 11), it is often reported that the number of victims of the pacification of both Łążków amounted to 217 people. However, other sources contain information that on February 2, 1944, 191 people (20 men, 66 women and 105 children) were murdered in Łążek Zaklikowski, and 86 people in Łążek Chwałowski (including 63 permanent residents of the village). after the war, the names of 177 victims were identified. Both villages were completely destroyed. Some sources state that 66 farms with livestock were burned in Łążek Chwałowski, while in Łążek Zaklikowski 83 houses and 150 farm buildings, where the living, the wounded and the dead were burned. Maria Jagiełło from Łążek relates: „I heard that in the village of Łążek, children were driven on wheels in a fence, and people led to execution were shown them saying: «you have your Polish eagles»”.
