Świedziebnia (Polish: [ɕfjɛˈd͡ʑɛbɲa]) is a village in Brodnica County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.
[2] During the Partitions of Poland, it was annexed by Prussia, and then in 1807 it was regained by Poles and included within the short-lived Polish Duchy of Warsaw.
[3] Józef Niemojewski, Polish general of the Kościuszko Uprising and Napoleonic Wars, is buried in the village.
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany.
[5] Expelled Poles were placed in the Potulice concentration camp and then either enslaved as forced labour of new German colonists in the county or deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland.
