History
The village was mentioned in a medieval document from 1282, when it was part of Piast-ruled Poland. Bukowiec was a private church village, administratively located in the Kcynia County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), on December 8, 1939, the Germans carried out a massacre of 107 Poles in the nearby forest.[3] Among the victims were activists, participants of the Greater Poland uprising (1918–19), teachers, students, farmers and merchants from various settlements from the region.[3] In 1944, the Germans burned bodies of the victims in attempt to cover up the crime (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[4]
