Radzim is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kamień Krajeński, within Sępólno County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[1]

During the occupation of Poland (World War II), the Germans operated a temporary concentration camp in the village (Internierungslager Resmin). Its prisoners were Poles and Jews from nearby towns of Sępólno Krajeńskie, Więcbork, Tuchola, Kamień Krajeński.[2] Prisoners were mostly deported to other concentration camps or murdered in Radzim and Rudzki Most.[3]
