The Hidden Village or Secret Village was built in WWII in the period Feb. 1943 and Oct. 1944 inhabited by Jewish people in hiding. There were usually about 80-100 people in the village. By coincidence the settlement was closed in Oct. 1944 discovered by hunting SS men. 8 of the 64 people in hiding were captured and eventually shot. The rest managed to escape.

The Hidden Village was a hiding place where various groups could hide in the huts during WWII. The huts were partly underground or were hidden from view by the wooded area. The camp was a rescue for several people in 1943 and 1944.
