Brzezinki is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Zbiczno, within Brodnica County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[1] It lies 4km (02miles) south-east of Zbiczno, 70NaN0 north of Brodnica, and 620NaN0 north-east of Toruń.
On 15 August 1920, during the Polish–Soviet War, the village was occupied by the Russian 4th Army, before it was eventually recaptured by the Poles on 18 August.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in autumn of 1939, the Nazi German police and Selbstschutz executed around 400 Polish civilians from Brodnica, Brzezinki and other nearby villages, in the forest in Brzezinki.[3] The massacre was part of the genocidal Intelligenzaktion campaign aimed at exterminating Polish intelligentsia. In 1944, the occupiers burnt the bodies of the victims to cover up the crime.[3]
