Trzebień (German: Kittlitztreben) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Bolesławiec, within Bolesławiec County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 140NaN0 north of Bolesławiec, and 1050NaN0 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 about 1,700-1,800 Jews, many of whom died.[2] Around 1,000 prisoners were evacuated in February 1945 to camps in Görlitz, Zittau and the Gross-Rosen and Buchenwald concentration camps, while 300 severely ill prisoners were left in the camp, where they were liberated by Soviet troops.[2]
