Before the Second World War it was a Polish-Ukrainian village. Poles made up the majority of the population (approx. 120 people) and lived in the village from their grandparents, most probably settling here already in pre-partition times.
An attack on the Poles by Ukrainian formations took place on 3.07.1943 at noon. An Ukrainian militia dressed in Soviet uniforms entered the village and pretended to be Soviet partisans. The village was surrounded. The captured Poles were led by the Uprising fighters to three homesteads: Łukasz Wereszczyński, Wacław Wereszczyński and the Krajewski family, and then murdered them there. At least 60 people were killed that day. The victims were buried at the crime scenes.
On 14.12.1997, the brothers Jan and Ambroży Wereszczyński, survivors of the 1943 pogrom against the Poles, founded a memorial plaque which they placed on the grave located in the former Wereszczyński homestead. This plaque lists the names (in general only, without first names or number of people) of all the Poles murdered at that time, although not all are buried in this grave. The inscription (in Polish and Ukrainian) states: "Here rest / members of the families / Wereszczyński / Jasiński / Krasicki / They died a tragic death on 3.07.1943".
