Skrzynice-Kolonia is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Jabłonna, within Lublin County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 4km (02miles) north-east of Jabłonna and 160NaN0 south of the regional capital Lublin.
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany. In October 1943, the German police executed two people in Skrzynice-Kolonia. The victims were a 28-year-old Polish man and a Jew whom he had sheltered from the Holocaust.[2]
