History
editDuring the German occupation of Poland (World War II), on September 2, 1944, German troops carried out a massacre of around 450 Poles, including many women and children, in the village. It was one of several pacifications perpetrated in the area in retaliation for German losses suffered in the battles of Jarząbka and Pecynka, which were fought nearby against the Polish Home Army.[2]
