History

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1941, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles, whose farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[2] Expelled Poles were placed in a transit camp in Toruń, and then deported either to the Warsaw District of the General Government in German-occupied central Poland or to forced labour in Germany.[2]

Notable people

• Franciszek Dachtera (1910–1942), Polish priest, prisoner of Nazi concentration camps, killed by the Nazi Germans in Dachau, considered one of the 108 Polish Martyrs of World War II by the Catholic Church.
