Tworki is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wiśniew, within Siedlce County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland.

History

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany until 1944. In January 1944, the German gendarmerie carried out a massacre of nine people in Tworki. The victims were 38-year-old Zofia Krasuska, her 5-year-old son Stanisław Krasuski, and seven Jews, whom she sheltered from the Holocaust.
