Świątkowice, Łódź Voivodeship
village of Poland
Świątkowice (Polish pronunciation: [ɕfjɔntkɔˈvit͡sɛ]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lututów, within Wieruszów County, Łódź Voivodeship, in central Poland.
History
The territory became a part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century. The village was mentioned in a document in 1357. In 1406, the local church became a filial church of the parish in Lututów.
In 1827, Świątkowice had a population of 309.
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1940–1941, the German gendarmerie carried out expulsions of Poles, who were either deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland or enslaved as forced labour in the region or in Germany. Houses and farms of expelled Poles were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
