During World War II, in 1939, Nazi Germany established and operated a temporary prisoner-of-war camp for Poles in the village.[2] Also Polish civilians and clergy were held in the camp, including Maximilian Kolbe, Franciscan friar and saint of the Catholic Church,[2] later killed in the Auschwitz concentration camp. In October 1939, there were over 25,000 prisoners in the camp, which was infamous for its terrible conditions, and prisoners were subjected to tortures and starvation.[2] There is a memorial to the victims.
