During World War II, Bernartice was threatened by the arrival of the Nazis which would have given the village a similar fate as the nearby village Lidice, which was burned down. With the help of locals, 23 people were killed and five were sent to concentration camps.{{cite web |title=Historie městyse|url=https://www.bernartice.cz/obec/o-obci/historie-mestyse.html|publisher=Městys Bernartice|language=cs|access-date=2022-08-31}}
