History
editFollowing the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany. Shortly before their withdrawal, on January 18, 1945, the Germans committed a massacre of nine Poles in Wieniec-Zdrój (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[2]
