Trzemiętowo [tʂɛmjɛnˈtɔvɔ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Sicienko, within Bydgoszcz County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland. [1] It lies 5 kilometres (3 mi) north-west of Sicienko and 21 km (13 mi) north-west of Bydgoszcz.
During the German occupation of Poland ( World War II), in 1941, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles, who were deported either to a transit camp in Toruń or to the Potulice concentration camp. [2] Houses and farms of expelled Poles were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy. [3]
