History[edit]
During the German occupation (World War II), in 1939, the German Selbstschutz established a jail for Poles from the region in the local pre-war Polish police station.[2] Around 400 Poles were imprisoned and then massacred in nearby Małe Czyste as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[3] Polish teachers from Dorposz Szlachecki were murdered by the Germans in a massacre of Poles committed in nearby Klamry, also as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[2] In 1941, the occupiers also carried out expulsions of Poles, whose farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[4]
