During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), Pomieczyńska Huta was one of the sites of executions of Poles, carried out by the Germans in 1939 as part of the Intelligenzaktion.^[3] In 1942, the occupiers also carried out expulsions of Poles, who were deported to the Potulice concentration camp, while their houses were handed over to new German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.^[4]
