Rusinowo, Rypin County
Rusinowo [ruɕiˈnɔvɔ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Rypin, within Rypin County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[1] History According to the 1921 census, the village with the adjacent manor farm had a population of 436, entirely Polish by nationality and 93.6% Roman Catholic and 6.4% Lutheran by confession.[2] During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), Rusinowo was the site of a massacre of around 200 Poles from the nearby town of Rypin and the Rypin County, carried out by Germany as part of the genocidal Intelligenzaktion.[3] In 1942, the occupiers also carried out expulsions of Poles, whose farms were then handed over to Germans as part of the Lebensraum policy.[4] References
