Szarwark [ˈʂarvark] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Dąbrowa Tarnowska, within Dąbrowa County, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, in southern Poland. It lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) south-east of Dąbrowa Tarnowska and 81 km (50 mi) east of the regional capital Kraków.[1]
History
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany until 1945. In June 1943, the German gendarmerie and Gestapo carried out a massacre of six local Poles, including two children aged 10 and 12, as punishment for rescuing Jews from the Holocaust.[2]
