Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany. On February 4, 1943, German troops and Gestapo perpetrated a massacre of 11 people in Jaworze Dolne. The victims were five Poles and six Jews, whom they sheltered from the Holocaust.[2]
