History

During the German occupation of Poland during World War II there was a German-operated prisoner-of-war camp in Bogusze. Polish civilians were also imprisoned in the camp. Many Russian and Italian soldiers as well as Polish civilians died of hunger or cold or were murdered in the camp. In 1959 a monument dedicated to the victims of German crimes was unveiled at the site.
