Borowo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Czempiń, within Kościan County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 6km (04miles) south of Czempiń, 100NaN0 east of Kościan, and 330NaN0 south of the regional capital Poznań.
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]
