Łyskornia is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Biała, within Wieluń County, Łódź Voivodeship, in south-central Poland. It lies approximately 14km (09miles) west of Wieluń and 940NaN0 south-west of the regional capital Łódź.[1]
In 1827, Łyskornia had a population of 355.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1940, the German gendarmerie expelled the entire population of Łyskornia.[3] Expelled Poles were either enslaved as forced labour in the region or deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland.[3] Their houses and farms were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[4]
