Rogoźnica (Polish pronunciation: ['rɔɡɔʑˈɲit͡sa]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Strzegom, within Świdnica County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.
[2] It was also mentioned in the medieval Polish chronicle Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis, created a few years later.
During World War II, in 1940, a forced labour subcamp of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp was established by Nazi Germany at a local granite quarry, which in the following year was converted into the Gross-Rosen concentration camp, where 40,000 prisoners perished.
The most numerous ethnic groups imprisoned in the Gross-Rosen network were Jews (from various European countries), Poles and citizens of the former Soviet Union.
[4]Rogoźnica, along with the nearby town of Strzegom and several other villages, is an important center for granite mining and stonemasonry in Poland.
