Massacre during Second World War

During the German Invasion of Poland, which started World War II in 1939, German minority members in Poland on 10 September with help of the German army murdered 17 Poles and Jews. The victims were buried in mass graves. The village was under German occupation from 1939 to 1945. In 1940, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles, whose farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.
