Zambrów

Founded in the Middle Ages, Zambrów is a former royal town of Poland, which prospered as a center of trade and brewing. Before World War II, it was the location of a Polish military school, and until the mid-20th century, it was a garrison town of the Polish Army. It was a place of Nazi German-perpetrated atrocities against prisoners-of-war and civilians during the German occupation of Poland in World War II with over 1,500 victims. It is located on the Route of the Heroes of the Battle of Warsaw 1920, the main highway connecting Białystok with Warsaw, Łódź and Wrocław.
