Galewice
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Galewice - a village in central Poland in Wieruszów County, Łódź Voivodeship, established in the XV century. It was first mentioned in 1458 in Judicial Chronicles. The origin of the name Galewice is ambiguous. It either comes from a word Gal, which means 'to serve' or it belonged to the first owners of the village, an aristocratic family of Galewski (coat of arms Wierusz). In XIX century the village passed to the Czapski family which owned Galewice until 1939. During World War II it was the place of a labour camp for Jews from Wieruszów County.
