History edit

In September 1939, during the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II, a battle was fought nearby. German troops burned the village on September 2, 1939, and murdered 75 Polish inhabitants, including 20 children (the Zimnowoda and Parzymiechy massacre, see also Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[3]
