Miedzeszyn is a neighbourhood of Wawer, a district of Warsaw, Poland.[1] Until 1951, it was a separate village.
The village of Miedzeszyn existed as far back as 1580, when it was known as Miedziessin and located in Warsaw County, Warsaw Land, Masovian Voivodeship, Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.[2] In 1926, the Włodzimierz Medem Sanatorium for children with tuberculosis, was opened in the village, by General Jewish Labour Bund and CISZO, and operated until 1942.[3] During the Nazi Germany Occupation of Poland in World War II, there was a ghetto for Jewish population, that operated there until 20 August 1942, when it was liquidated.[4] The village was incorporated into the city of Warsaw on 5 May 1951.[5]
The neighbourhood is divided into seven parts: Nowy Miedzeszyn, Miedzeszyn Wieś, Elżbietówek, Julianów, Świerczyna, and Zagódź. Its west border is based on the Vistula river, and the east border, on the forests on the hills.
