Wereszczyn ([vɛˈrɛʂt͡ʂɨn]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Urszulin, within Włodawa County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland.
[2] Local nobleman Andrzej Wereszczyński was often visited by Polish Renaissance poet Mikołaj Rej.
[3] In 1901, Aniela Dembowska, wife of Edward Dembowski, leader of the Polish Kraków uprising of 1846 against Austrian rule, was buried at the local cemetery.
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany until 1944.
Today, there is no trace of the Jewish life in the village but for a lone memorial placed a few years ago by Raz-Zunszajn who was nine at the time of the massacre.
