History
In 1881, Mordarka had a population of 772.[2]
During the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II, on 7 September 1939, the Germans committed a massacre of ten people from Limanowa in Mordarka. The victims were nine Jews and a Polish mailman, who tried to persuade the Germans to release the nine arrested Jews.[3]
