History

Borowo was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Kościan County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Polish Crown.^[2] In the mid-19th century it was owned by the Mizerski family.^[3]

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), the principal of the local primary school, Józef Wojciechowski, was murdered in a public execution of 18 Poles carried out in the nearby town of Kościan on 23 October 1939, by the Einsatzgruppe VI as part of the Intelligenzaktion.^[4] Inhabitants of Borowo were also among the victims of a massacre of 45 Poles carried out on 7 November 1939, in the forest near Kościan.^[5]
