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. The occupiers established a forced labour camp for Jews and a subcamp of the Stalag 319 prisoner-of-war camp in 1940 and 1941, respectively.[2][3]
