History

During the German occupation (World War II), Małe Czyste was the site of massacres of around 400 Poles from the region, carried out by the Germans in 1939 as part of the Intelligenzaktion. The Poles were previously held in a German Selbstschutz jail in the nearby village of Dorposz Szlachecki. Among the victims were 21 farmers from Małe Czyste. The Germans burned the bodies of the victims to cover up the crime.
