 The list of pacified villages within the borders of postwar Poland was arranged by the IPN according to one of Poland's eleven voivodeships (administrative regions) which were not a part of Nazi Germany upon the 1939 invasion of Poland.Likewise, all settlements presently within the borders of post-Soviet Ukraine and Belarus are excluded from the list.They belonged to Poland's prewar Lwów Voivodeship, Nowogródek Voivodeship (1919–39), Polesie Voivodeship, Stanisławów Voivodeship, Tarnopol Voivodeship, Wilno Voivodeship (1926–39), and Wołyń Voivodeship (1921–39).
