Ruszów is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Węgliniec, within Zgorzelec County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] Ruszów is within the historic Upper Lusatia, homeland of Lusatian Sorbs. It lies approximately 13km (08miles) north of Węgliniec, 31km (19miles) north-east of Zgorzelec, and 133km (83miles) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
During World War II the Germans established and operated a subcamp of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp in the village, whose prisoners were Jews.[2]
In the final stages of World War II, a temporary hospital of the Second Polish Army was located in the village.
