History

[edit]

During the German occupation (World War II), the forest near Buszkowo was the site of a large massacre of Poles from Koronowo and nearby villages, committed by the Germans on October 5–6, 1939 as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[2] In 1941, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles, whose farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[3] Expelled Poles were placed in a transit camp in Toruń, and then deported either to the Warsaw District of the General Government in German-occupied central Poland or to forced labour in Germany.[3]
