Przysiersk was a royal village of the
Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Świecie County in the
Pomeranian Voivodeship. Following the joint German-Soviet
invasion of Poland, which started
World War II in September 1939, the village was
occupied by Germany until 1945. The local school principal was among
Poles from the region, who were massacred by the
Selbstschutz in
Mniszek in 1939 during the genocidal
Intelligenzaktion campaign. In February 1941, the occupiers carried out
expulsions of Poles, who were deported to a transit camp in
Tczew, while their houses were handed over to
German colonists as part of the
Lebensraum policy. ==References==
