Otorowo (de|Otteraue) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Solec Kujawski, within Bydgoszcz County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[1] It lies 7km (04miles) west of Solec Kujawski, 190NaN0 east of Bydgoszcz, and 520NaN0 west of Toruń. It is located in the historic region of Kuyavia.
The earliest mention of the village comes from 1280, when it was part of Piast-ruled Poland.
During the German occupation (World War II), in October and November 1939, Otorowo was the site of large massacres of hundreds of Poles from Otorowo and other nearby villages, carried out by the German Einsatzkommando 16 as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[2] In 1944, the Germans burned the bodies to cover up the crime.[2]
