History
Rusocin was a private village owned by various Polish nobles, incl. the Dąbrowski and Wojanowski families, administratively located in the Tczew County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship of the Kingdom of Poland.[2] It was annexed by Prussia in the First Partition of Poland in 1772.
During World War II, from September 1944 to February 1945, the village was the location of a subcamp of the Stutthof concentration camp, in which Nazi Germans imprisoned around 300 Jewish women as forced labour.[3]
Transport
The village is located close to the start/end point of the A1 and S6 highways.
