History
Pniewo was a private church village within the Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Masovian Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.
According to the 1921 census, the village had a population of 582, 96.9% Polish and 3.1% Jewish.[2]
During the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II, on September 9, 1939, Wehrmacht troops murdered a dozen or so Poles from the nearby town of Wyszków near the village (see also Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[3]
