History

Śliwiny was a possession of the city of Tczew, administratively located in the Tczew County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship of the Kingdom of Poland.[2]

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1941, the Einsatzkompanie Goten­hafen, Schutzpolizei and SS carried out expulsions of Poles, whose houses and farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[3] Expelled Poles were enslaved as forced labour and sent either to German colonists in the region or to Germany.[3]
