Łukowo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Czersk, within Chojnice County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5km (03miles) south-west of Czersk, 270NaN0 east of Chojnice, and 820NaN0 south-west of the regional capital Gdańsk. It is located in the Tuchola Forest in the historic region of Pomerania.
During World War I, the Germans operated a prisoner-of-war camp in the village. It held mostly Russian POWs, including many ethnic Poles conscripted to the Russian Army, but also English, Romanian, Serbian, Italian, Portuguese, French and Belgian POWs. Some 50,000 POWs passed through the camp.
During World War II, the local forest was the site of a massacre of 28 Poles from nearby Czersk and Mokre, committed by the Germans on November 4, 1939 (see also Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[2] There is a memorial at the site.[2]
