History

During the Second World War, the commune of Adamów was an area of very lively partisan activity. Bondyrz was pacified three times by the Germans and today has a unique museum of the history of the World Association of Home Army Soldiers.

The armed uprising took place on 30 December 1942 in the town of Wojda. That date was considered to be the beginning of the Zamość uprising, which lasted until 25 July 1944.{{Cite web |title=Z kart historii - O Gminie - Gmina Adamów |url=https://adamow.gmina.pl/asp/z-kart-historii,5,,1 |access-date=2024-10-22 |website=adamow.gmina.pl |language=pl}}
