History
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was first occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941, and then by Germany until 1944. In September 1941, the German gendarmerie expelled the entire population, and then plundered and destroyed the village.[2] The purpose of the expulsion was to hinder the activities of the resistance movement in the area.[2] After the war, the village was rebuilt.
