Chojęcin is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Bralin, within Kępno County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 4km (02miles) south-east of Bralin, 30NaN0 south-west of Kępno, and 1450NaN0 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. 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.[2]
