The Zamość Uprising refers to the partisan actions by Polish resistance (primarily Armia Krajowa and Bataliony Chłopskie) against the forced expulsion of Poles from the Zamość region (''Zamojszczyzna'', "Zamość Lands") conducted under the Nazi German colonization policy of Generalplan Ost during occupation of Poland. The uprising lasted from 1942 to 1944.〔 The defense of the Zamość region is considered to be among the largest actions of the Polish resistance during World War II.〔〔(Armia Krajowa ) at Encyklopedia PWN. Last accessed on 14 March 2008. 〕 ==German atrocities== In 1942, the Zamość region, due to its fertile black soil, was chosen for further German colonisation in the General Government as part of Generalplan Ost.〔("Zamosc Ghetto" ) at DeathCamps.org.

An initial "test trial" expulsion was performed in November 1941, and the whole operation ended in anti-partisan pacification operations combined with expulsions in June–July 1943 which were codenamed ''Wehrwolf'' Action I and II. Over 110,000 Polish people from approximately 300 villages were expelled to make room for German (and to a lesser extent, Ukrainian) settlers as part of Nazi plans for establishment of German colonies in the conquered territories (Generalplan Ost).〔〔〔Norman Davies, ''God's Playground: A History of Poland'', Columbia University Press, 2005, (Google Print, p.338 )〕〔Tadeusz Piotrowski, ''Poland's Holocaust'', McFarland & Company, 1997, ISBN 0-7864-0371-3. (Google Print, p.22 )〕 In the Warsaw or Lublin area some villagers were ''resettled'', but about 50,000 of those expelled were sent as forced labour to Germany while others were sent to the Nazi concentration camps never to return.〔 Some villages were simply razed and the inhabitants murdered.〔〔 Almost 30,000 Polish children were kidnapped by German authorities from their parents for potential Germanisation.〔〔〔〔Zygmunt Mańkowski; Tadeusz Pieronek; Andrzej Friszke; Thomas Urban (panel discussion), "(Polacy wypędzeni )", Biuletyn IPN, nr5 (40) May 2004 / Bulletin of the Institute of National Remembrance (Biuletyn Instytutu Pamięci Narodowej), issue: 05 / 2004, pages: 628〕〔 Lukas, Richard C. ''Did the Children Cry? Hitler's War against Jewish and Polish Children, 1939–1945''.
