History[edit]
In 1827, Posądza had a population of 159.[2]
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany until 1945. On June 22, 1943, the Germans carried out a massacre of seven local Poles, including a ten-year-old child and two two-year-old children, as punishment for rescuing Jews from the Holocaust.[3]
