History
During World War II, in 1941, Nazi Germany established the Stalag 338 and Stalag 348 prisoner-of-war camps for Polish and French POWs, which, however, were soon relocated to Kryvyi Rih and Rzeszów, respectively.[2] From 1942 to 1945, the Germans operated a Polenlager forced labour camp for Poles in the town.[3] In January 1945, a German-conducted death march of prisoners of the Auschwitz concentration camp and its subcamps passed through the town.[4]
