Toplin is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Skomlin, within Wieluń County, Łódź Voivodeship, in south-central Poland. It lies approximately 3km (02miles) south-west of Skomlin, 170NaN0 south-west of Wieluń, and 1040NaN0 south-west of the regional capital Łódź.[1]
The territory became a part of the emerging Polish state in the 10th century. Toplin was a private village of Polish nobility, including the Potocki family,[2] administratively located in the Sieradz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province. In 1827, it had a population of 198.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1940, the German gendarmerie carried out expulsions of Poles, who were placed in a transit camp in Łódź, and then young Poles were deported to forced labour in Germany and German-occupied France, and others were deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland.[3] Houses and farms of expelled Poles were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[4]
