Milejczyce, Administrative village in Siemiatycze County, Poland.

Milejczyce extends across the northeastern Polish landscape at 163 meters elevation, surrounded by agricultural fields and smaller neighboring settlements in Podlaskie Voivodeship.

The village experienced significant changes during World War II, as German forces invaded in 1941 following Soviet occupation, leading to deportations of 1,200 Jewish residents to Treblinka.

The 1921 census revealed a diverse population of 1,180 residents, including Roman Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and Jews, with Polish, Belarusian, and Jewish nationalities recorded.

Located 21 kilometers northeast of Siemiatycze and 67 kilometers south of Białystok, Milejczyce functions as the administrative center for Gmina Milejczyce district.

The Jewish cemetery, established in 1865, spans half a hectare and contains concrete gravestones that document the former presence of a substantial Jewish community.
