Key Information
History
[edit]Stara Kiszewa was a royal village of the Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Tczew County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), on November 19, 1939, the Germans murdered 12 Polish farmers from Stara Kiszewa in a massacre in the nearby village Nowy Wiec.[3] Poles were also subjected to expulsions, carried out in late 1939, January 1940 and in 1942.[4] In August 1941, two Poles escaped from a subcamp of the Stutthof concentration camp in Gdańsk to Stara Kiszewa and received aid in the village.[5]
