The repressions were retaliation for helping underground organizations, sheltering Jews in hiding, or failing to meet the obligatory deliveries of agricultural products, known as quotas. Young inhabitants of the village were also caught and deported deep into the Third Reich for forced labor.<\/p>\n<p>In April 1940, several dozen villages were pacified and over 700 people were murdered in the Radom District of the General Government (part of Poland under German occupation) in retaliation for helping the partisan squad commanded by Major Henryk Dobrza\u0144ski aka &#8221; Hubal &#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>On April 14, 1940, the German occupation forces carried out a pacification action in J\u00f3zef Du\u017cy near \u0141uk\u00f3w in the Lublin district of the General Government. German families lived in this town even before World War II. On April 13, 1940, one of them became the victim of a robbery and was murdered. The next day, April 14, German forces arrived in J\u00f3zef\u00f3w Du\u017cy, including the gendarmerie, Gestapo and Selbstschutz (self-defense recruited from local Germans). The inhabitants of J\u00f3zef\u00f3w and the surrounding villages were transported to the vicinity of the farm of the killed Germans. In total, several hundred Poles were gathered. Some of them (women and children up to 14 years of age) were released to go home. In the evening, the tragedy of the others began. They were arranged in rows of 10 people on the square, lit by floodlights. On the orders of Albrecht von Alvensleben, the Germans started firing machine guns and murdered nearly 200 people that then were buried in a collective grave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the German occupation of Poland in 1939\u20131945, several hundred Polish villages were completely destroyed, and most of their inhabitants were murdered.
