Rypin

Rypin [ˈrɨpʲin] is a town in north-central Poland, in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, about 50 km east of Toruń.

In 1807, it passed to the short-lived Polish Duchy of Warsaw, and after its dissolution in 1815, it became part of the Russian Partition of Poland.

During the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the town was invaded and then occupied by Germany until 1945.

[7] Hundreds of arrested Poles were interrogated and then murdered on the spot and buried in nearby Skrwilno, during the German-perpetrated Intelligenzaktion.

[8] Many local Poles were also murdered during large massacres carried out by the Germans in Skrwilno in October and November 1939.
