History

During the German occupation (World War II), in 1939, the occupiers carried out arrests of local Poles, who were then murdered by the German Einsatzkommando 16 near Otorowo as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[2] In 1944, the Germans burned the bodies of the victims in attempt to cover up the crime.[2]
