Przywóz

Przywóz [ˈpʂɨvus] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wierzchlas, within Wieluń County, Łódź Voivodeship, in south-central Poland.

[1] In the village there are two prehistoric tumuli and a settlement of the Przeworsk culture, dating back to the 2nd century AD, now an archaeological site.

[2] Named the "Ducal Kurgans", they are linked to a local section of the ancient Amber Road connecting the Baltic Sea with the Roman Empire.

[3] During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1940, the German gendarmerie carried out expulsions of Poles, who were placed in a transit camp in Łódź, and then young Poles were deported to forced labour in Germany and German-occupied France, and others were deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland.

[4] Houses and farms of expelled Poles were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.
