History
[edit]A sugar refinery was founded in Glinojeck in 1858.[2]
Following the German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, it was occupied by Germany until 1945. Disabled people from Glinojeck were murdered by the Germans in a massacre carried out in February 1940 in the nearby village of Ościsłowo.[3] A local Polish policeman was murdered by the Russians in the Katyn massacre in 1940.[4][5]
