Karnkowo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lipno, within Lipno County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 6km (04miles) east of Lipno and 470NaN0 south-east of Toruń. It is located in the historic Dobrzyń Land.
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), the forest of Karnkowo was the site of large massacres, in which Germans murdered around 200 Poles, inhabitants of Karnkowo, as well as nearby towns of Lipno and Skępe and other nearby villages.[2] Local teacher Władysław Karczewski was among Polish teachers murdered in the Mauthausen concentration camp during the Intelligenzaktion.[3]
