Górsk [ɡursk] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Zławieś Wielka, within Toruń County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.
[2] In November 1940, the German Schutzpolizei carried out expulsions of Poles, who were placed in a transit camp in nearby Toruń, and then either deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland or sent to forced labour, while their houses and farms were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.
[3] After the war, in 1945, the village was restored to Poland, although with a Soviet-installed communist regime which stayed in power until the Fall of Communism in the 1980s.
In 1984, the communist secret police kidnapped priest Jerzy Popiełuszko near Górsk,[4] as he was returning from Bydgoszcz to his parish in Warsaw, and then murdered him in Włocławek.
[4] The main historic landmark of Górsk is the Baroque parish church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, built in the 17th century.
