Ruszkowo [ruʂˈkɔvɔ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Środa Wielkopolska, within Środa Wielkopolska County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland. [1] It lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) east of Środa Wielkopolska and 34 km (21 mi) south-east of the regional capital Poznań.
During the German occupation of Poland ( World War II), in 1940, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles, whose houses and farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy. [2] Expelled Poles were either enslaved as forced labour of new German colonists in the county or placed in a transit camp in Łódź and afterwards deported in freight trains to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland.
