Following the German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941, and then by Germany until 1944. Under German occupation, Italian POWs worked as forced labourers on the construction of a railway between Czerwony Bór and Zambrów.[3]
