History

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1941, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles, who were deported either to a transit camp in Toruń or to the Potulice concentration camp.[2] Houses and farms of expelled Poles were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[3]
