History

The first written mention of Hodonín is from 1360. The most important owners of the village were the Pernštejn family that granted the village some privileges.[2]

During World War II, Romani people were imprisoned at the Hodonín concentration camp, before being transported to the Auschwitz extermination camp. Around 1,300 prisoners passed through the camp, of which 194 died.[3]
