During World War II the Germans established and operated a subcamp of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp in the village, with around 600 prisoners, mostly Poles.[2] In February 1945, the Germans ordered the evacuation of the camp, during which at least 100 exhausted prisoners were murdered.[2] A group of ill prisoners was left in the camp and later transported to Gross-Rosen on 19 March 1945.[2]
