A video on the history of the extermination of the Roma from Borzecin and Szczurowa is available on the History Hiking.<\/p>\n

The presenters describe two stories related to the Nazi murders of the Roma population. On a Saturday in July 1942, the gendarmes stopped a group of 30 Gypsies near Wa\u0142 Rudy: three men, five women and the rest – children. In carts driven by local peasants, the Germans took them to the Kisielina River between Wola Rad\u0142owska and Wa\u0142 Ruda. Local people begged the Germans and Polish policemen not to kill Gypsies near the village. The Germans took the victims along the road towards Borz\u0119cin. The execution took place in the forest. Probably one man managed to escape. The murdered belonged to the Majewski, Kwiatkowski, Chmielewski and Cioroni families. The names indicate that they were Gypsies from the Polska Roma tribe and local settlers (Cioronie). The victims of the massacre were exhumed in 1959 and placed in a mass grave at the cemetery in Borz\u0119cin Dolny.<\/p>\n
