History
Miłoszyce dates back to the Middle Ages. The oldest known mention comes from a document of Pope Innocent IV from 1245.
During World War II the Germans established and operated the largest subcamp of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp in the village.[1] Over 6,000 men, mostly Poles, but also Jews, the French, Belgians, the Dutch, Czechs, Russians, Croats, were imprisoned there as forced laborers.[1] Prisoners were given very low food rations and one set of clothes for the entire period of imprisonment.[2] Prisoners washed in group baths with cold water once every two weeks, also in freezing conditions, which led to the deaths of many of them.[2] There were terrible sanitary conditions in the camp.[2] In total, around 2,000 people died there.[1] In January 1945 the Germans evacuated most prisoners to Gross-Rosen in a "death march", in which around 1,000 prisoners died, also as a result of executions and cold.[1][2] Around 300 ill prisoners were left in the camp hospital, where they liberated by the Soviets on 23 January 1945.[1]
