Adampol [aˈdampɔl] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wyryki, within Włodawa County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland.
During World War II, Adampol was the site of an Arbeitslager, a slave-labor subcamp of the Sobibor extermination camp nearby. Jewish partisans rescued several Jewish girls from a farm at Adampol, where they were being kept hostage 'for the pleasure of German officers'. Adamow Labor Camp was liquidated on August 13, 1943.
Survivors, including Jack (Yankele) Glinzman and his uncles, Jack (Yankel), Israel (Srulka) and Joseph (Yuscha) Glincman and cousins Bob (Bollek) Becker, Pomeranc and others fled into the forest on the Belorussian border and joined up with the Parczew partisans.
Other survivors include Shaul Soroka, his wife Maryam Blima Goldman Soroka, his sons Pesach and Mottel, and his daughters Braindel and Esther.
There is a memorial to the Jews who were murdered in Adampol at the entrance to the estate where the Nazis were headquartered, paid for by the Pomeranc and Blaichman families.
