Marchwacz [ˈmarxfat͡ʂ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Szczytniki, within Kalisz County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in central Poland. [1] It lies approximately 16 kilometres (10 mi) east of Kalisz and 121 km (75 mi) south-east of the regional capital Poznań.
As part of the region of Greater Poland, i.e. the cradle of the Polish state, the area formed part of Poland since its establishment in the 10th century. Marchwacz was a private church village, administratively located in the Kalisz County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. [2]
In 1827, it had a population of 126. [3]
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany. Shortly before their withdrawal, on January 21–22, 1945, German troops committed a massacre of 57 Polish inhabitants of Marchwacz, six other Poles, and twelve captured Soviet prisoners of war (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation ).
