Jaroszewy was a private church village within the Polish Crown, administratively located in the Tczew County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, owned by the monastery in Pelplin.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in October 1939, the Germans deceitfully ordered a formal meeting for local Polish farmers at a local school.[3] 46 farmers were then arrested and transported to the nearby village of Mestwinowo and murdered there by the SS and Selbstschutz.[3] In November 1939, the Germans expelled 76 Poles from the village.[4]
