Ignaców is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Mińsk Mazowiecki, within Mińsk County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland.[2]
The local landmark is the Saint Anthony church.
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany. On March 30, 1943, the Germans carried out a massacre of three Polish foresters and two Soviet POWs who escaped from German captivity. The foresters were members of the Polish resistance, and they sheltered Jews and Soviet POWs.[3]
