Jaworze Dolne [jaˈvɔʐɛ ˈdɔlnɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Pilzno, within Dębica County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 6 kilometres (4 mi) south-east of Pilzno, 13 km (8 mi) south-west of Dębica, and 48 km (30 mi) west of the regional capital Rzeszów.

History

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany. On February 4, 1943, German troops and Gestapo perpetrated a massacre of 11 people in Jaworze Dolne.[2] The victims were five Poles and six Jews, whom they sheltered from the Holocaust.[2]
