ogr2ogr problem mapping shapefile to geojson ETRS89 / Poland CS92

Question

I'm trying to convert official boundaries of administrative regions of Poland from official governmental site (codgik.gov.pl). I want to use those data because they are official ones, and set contains additional levels of borders of that I cannot find in other data sets (such as Natural Earth).

I use approach similar to How to create a GeoJSON that works with D3?. However when I'm trying to use conversion ogr2ogr and plot the results using d3.js I fail. Data seems to be incorrectly translated giving essentially gibberish.

The same approach worked just fine w Natural Earth shapefiles.

By playing around with SVG (deleting paths) I can see that path overlaps and hugely and result in just black square.

Java GeoTools [quickstart tutorial] shows this shapefile without any problem, so I'm guessing mine conversions are off.

Shapefile set is available here (5.5MB)

JavaScript code:

d3.json("wojeowdztwa.json", function(error, map) {
  if (error) return console.error(error);

var projection = d3.geo.mercator()
//    .center([171677, 133223])
//    .scale(69)
    .translate([width / 2, height / 2]);

  var path = d3.geo.path()
    .projection(projection);

svg.append("g").attr("id", "polska")
    .selectAll("path")
      .data(map.features)
      .enter()
        .append("path")
        .attr("id", function(d) { return d.id; })
          .attr("d", path)
          .attr("class", "wojewodztwo");

I'm very new to cartography.

As @user30184 suggests, convert your shapefile to json and at the same time reproject it to WGS84 with:

ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON -s_srs epsg:2180 -t_srs epsg:4326 wojeowdztwa.json wojewodztwa.shp 

Then, define the projection in your script like this:

var projection = d3.geo.mercator()
    .center([21, 52])
    .scale(2000)
    .translate([width / 2, height / 2]);

You then should see this:

Complete script:

var width = 600,
    height = 600;

var svg = d3.select("body").append("svg")
    .attr("width", width)
    .attr("height", height);

d3.json("wojeowdztwa.json", function(error, map) {
  if (error) return console.error(error);

var projection = d3.geo.mercator()
    .center([21, 52])
    .scale(2000)
    .translate([width / 2, height / 2]);

var path = d3.geo.path()
    .projection(projection);

svg.append("g").attr("id", "polska")
    .selectAll("path")
      .data(map.features)
      .enter()
        .append("path")
        .attr("id", function(d) { return d.id; })
        .attr("d", path)
        .attr("class", "wojewodztwo");
});
