Straszewo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Koneck, within Aleksandrów County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[1] It lies 10km (10miles) south of Aleksandrów Kujawski and 280NaN0 south of Toruń. It is located in the historic region of Kuyavia.
The oldest known mention of the village comes from a document of Duke Casimir I of Kuyavia from 1250, when it was part of Piast-ruled Poland.
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1940, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles, whose farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[2]
