History
Samoklęski Małe was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Kcynia County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Polish Crown.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1939, the German gendarmerie and Selbstschutz expelled several Polish families from the village.[3] Expelled Poles were initially detained in a transit camp in nearby Szubin, and then deported to the Radom District of the General Government (German-occupied central Poland), while their houses and farms were handed over to Germans as part of the Lebensraum policy.[3] One child died during the expulsion.[3]
