Trzebień [ˈtʂɛbjɛɲ] (German: Kittlitztreben) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Bolesławiec, within Bolesławiec County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. It lies approximately 14 km (9 mi) north of Bolesławiec, and 105 km (65 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław. The village has a population of 770. During World War II the Germans established and operated a subcamp of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp in the village, whose prisoners were about 1,700-1,800 Jews, many of whom died. Around 1,000 prisoners were evacuated in February 1945 to camps in Görlitz, Zittau and the Gross-Rosen and Buchenwald concentration camps, while 300 severely ill prisoners were left in the camp, where they were liberated by Soviet troops.
