Massacre during Second World War
During the German Invasion of Poland in 1939, German forces mass murdered 22 Poles by burning them alive. The victims included three elderly people(up to 90 years old) and one child.[2] The Poles were imprisoned in a barn that was set on fire. Those who tried to escape from the fire were shot by the Germans during the escape attempt.
