Rudna [ˈrudna] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Złotów, within Złotów County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 15 kilometres (9 mi) east of Złotów and 105 km (65 mi) north of the regional capital Poznań.
In the interbellum, a Polish school existed in the village. After the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II, Poles were persecuted. The Germans arrested local Polish activists and the local Polish teacher Czesław Mikołajczyk, who were imprisoned and killed in the Flossenbürg and Sachsenhausen concentration camps.[2]
