Bogusze is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Prostki, within Ełk County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 3km (02miles) south-east of Prostki, 170NaN0 south of Ełk, and 1300NaN0 east of the regional capital Olsztyn.
The village was established in 1438.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland during World War II there was a German-operated prisoner-of-war camp in Bogusze.[2] Polish civilians were also imprisoned in the camp.[2] Many Russian and Italian soldiers as well as Polish civilians died of hunger or cold or were murdered in the camp.[2] In 1959 a monument dedicated to the victims of German crimes was unveiled at the site.[2]
