PolandMinkówka [miŋˈkufka] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Narewka, within Hajnówka County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland, close to the border with Belarus.[1] It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) north-west of Narewka, 18 km (11 mi) north-east of Hajnówka, and 48 km (30 mi) south-east of the regional capital Białystok.
History
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was first occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941, and then by Germany until 1944. In July 1941, the German Police Battalion 322 expelled the entire population, and then plundered the village.[2] The purpose of the expulsion was to hinder the activities of the resistance movement in the area.[2]
