Jarczewo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Skępe, within Lipno County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 4km (02miles) north-west of Skępe, 100NaN0 east of Lipno, and 490NaN0 east of Toruń.
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), Poles from Jarczewo were among the victims of large massacres of Poles from the county carried out by the Germans in nearby Karnkowo as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[2] The local school principal was among Polish principals and teachers murdered in the Dachau concentration camp.[3]
