Bralin is a village in Kępno County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Bralin.[1] It lies approximately 6km (04miles) west of Kępno and 1420NaN0 south-east of the regional capital Poznań.
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, it was occupied by Nazi Germany until 1945, and the Polish population was persecuted. In 1939, the occupiers murdered the local sołtys (head of administration).[2] In 1939, the Germans carried out the first expulsions of Poles, who were deported in freight trains to Mińsk Mazowiecki in the more-eastern part of German-occupied Poland.[3]
