Шаблон:Infobox settlement Dubienka Шаблон:IPAc-pl is a village in Chełm County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland, close to the border with Ukraine[1] on the Bug River. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Dubienka. It lies approximately Шаблон:Convert east of Chełm and Шаблон:Convert east of the regional capital Lublin.

In 1792, a battle between Polish and Russian armies took place near nearby.

The town was occupied by the Germans during World War II from 1939 to 1944. The Jewish population consisted of around 2,500 individuals. In May 1942, the Germans reported that there were 2,907 Jews in Dubienka, some of whom had been transported there from neighboring villages. On May 22, 1942, the Germans conducted an Aktion in which they murdered a number of Jews at the local Jewish cemetery. On June 2, 1942, local farmers, under German orders, took Jews by horse and wagon to Hrubieszow where they were held for two days with little food and water, then put on freight trains and taken to the Sobibór extermination camp where they were immediately murdered. Two to three hundred were left behind as laborers. Only about fifteen Dubienka Jews survived the Holocaust. The Jewish community ceased to exist.[2]
