Apolonka is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Janów, within Częstochowa County, Silesian Voivodeship, in southern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5km (03miles) south-east of Janów, 290NaN0 south-east of Częstochowa, and 610NaN0 north-east of the regional capital Katowice.
During the German occupation (World War II), in June and July 1940, the German police committed three massacres of around 60 Poles from nearby Częstochowa in the village (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[2] Among the victims were 20 girl scouts.[2]
