Antoniów [anˈtɔɲuf] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Stara Kamienica, within Karkonosze County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1]

During World War II, the Germans established and operated a forced labour camp in the village, in which they imprisoned Italian and Soviet prisoners of war.[2] The prisoners lived and worked in poor sanitary conditions, and were forced to exhausting labour.[2]
