In 1835, the parish priest of Białuty made an agreement with the Calvinists to celebrate four Masses a year in the chapel of the former Teutonic castle in Działdowo. The first Mass was celebrated on the Sunday after the Epiphany in 1837. The mission was founded on 14 October 1858, and Theodor Węglikowski became its first priest. The cornerstone blessing ceremony was held on 12 June 1861. The church "was a small temple with timber framing, and the parish house featured a classroom and accommodation for the priest and the teacher. The parish house was completely refurbished in 1893, and a new Neogothic church dedicated to St. Adalbert was built in 1896. The church was consecrated on 9 June 1900. A private Catholic school was founded in Działdowo on 4 May 1864, and in Narzym on 2 January 1884. The construction effort, the priest's and the teacher's wages were funded by the St. Boniface Association in Paderborn, which operated in the Bishopric of Culm under the name of St. Boniface and St. Adalbert Association in Pelplin.

In September 1939 in Działdowo the Nazis established a transit camp for the war prisoners of the Polish September Campaign of 1939 in the former barracks of the 32 infantry regiment on Grunwaldzka Street. At the turn of 1939 and 1940 the police and the SS authorities in Königsberg transformed the Działdowo camp into the transit camp „Durchgangslager“. Priests imprisoned in the Działdowo camp from autumn 1939 to autumn 1941 constituted a special group of political prisoners. The archbishop Antoni Julian Nowowiejski and the bishop Leon Wetmański, Płock bishop suffragan, were brought to the Działdowo camp in 1941. The Płock bishops quickly became spiritual guides and the support for the prisoners in difficult moments of camp life. In order to prevent their contacts with the prisoners, the bishops were put in a separate cell number 12. They were subjected to different kinds of moral and physical torture, including the attempt to profane the cross. Difficult living conditions in the camp soon led to the death of the Płock priests: the archbishop Antoni Julian Nowowiejski died on 28 May 1941 and the bishop Leon Wetmański died on 10 October 1941. Apart from them, 47 priests and 1 seminarian lost their lives in the Działdowo camp in 1939–1945.

Po rozpoczęciu II wojny światowej w Działdowie (niem. Soldau) urządzono obóz, w którym przetrzymywano nie tylko jeńców wojennych, lecz także ludność cywilną, w tym Polaków i Żydów. Aresztowanych torturowano i zabijano. Od grudnia 1939 r. w obozie przetrzymywano przedstawicieli lokalnych elit, w tym działaczy politycznych, duchownych, nauczycieli i urzędników państwowych. Szacuje się, że do kwietnia 1940 r. w obozie zabito ok. 15 tys. osób. Pomimo że obóz funkcjonował później jako obóz pracy przymusowej a następnie jako obóz karny, to w swoim charakterze nie odbiegał od obozów koncentracyjnych. Z tego powodu byli więźniowie obozu w Działdowie są traktowani tak samo jak więźniowie obozów koncentracyjnych.

This paper covers events connected with the occupation and creation of camps and other sites of internment of the Polish and the Jews in Działdowo during 1939‒1945. On the first of September 1939 the town was attacked by German soldiers who gained control of the positions in the market square without a single gunshot. During the war in the area of the town and in the vicinity sites for internment of POW’s were organized, the civilian population of Polish and Jewish nationality. Arrested persons were tortured and killed in rooms of the house. Since December 1939 the Gestapo arrest was moved to the barracks where the activity of the transitory camp for the Polish began. Among them were priests, teachers, clerks, diplomats. In fact, this camp served as a place of extermination for all categories of prisoners, Polish political activists, displaced persons and Jews. The inhabitants of Działdowo and neighbouring localities were unintentional witnesses of these crimes. Due to lack of documents one can assess the number of victims at about 15 thousands victims. This action ended in the middle of April. The camp has been transformed into the camp of educational labour for persons refusing to work. Soon the camp changed its character as a penalty camp. Taking into consideration life and labour difficult conditions of this camp and high number of its victims, this camp has been treated on a par with the concentration camps. Therefore the former prisoners of complex camp in Działdowo have received identical benefits.
