During the German occupation of Poland during World War II there was a German-operated POW camp in Bogusze.[2] Polish civilians were also imprisoned in the camp.[2] Many Russian and Italian soldiers as well as Polish civilians died of hunger or cold or were murdered in the camp.[2] In 1959 a monument dedicated to the victims of German crimes was unveiled at the site.[2]
