History
[edit]As part of the region of Greater Poland, i.e. the cradle of the Polish state, the area formed part of Poland since its establishment in the 10th century. Jankowo Dolne was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Gniezno County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[2]
During the German invasion of Poland which started World War II, on September 11, 1939, German troops carried out a massacre of 12 Poles, including women and children (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[3]
