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] Among the victims was local sołtys (head of local administration) Teofil Arczyński. [2] In 1944, the Germans burned the bodies of the victims in attempt to cover up the crime. [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. [3]
