Longinówka is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Rozprza, within Piotrków County, Łódź Voivodeship, in central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 9km (06miles) north-east of Rozprza, 40NaN0 south of Piotrków Trybunalski, and 490NaN0 south of the regional capital Łódź.
During the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the Germans locked up several captured Polish prisoners of war in a house in the village, then set it on fire and burned the Poles alive (see also Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[2]
