Łyszkowice is a village in Łowicz County, Łódź Voivodeship, in central Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Łyszkowice. It lies approximately 13km (08miles) south of Łowicz and 390NaN0 north-east of the regional capital Łódź.
Łyszkowice is a place of birth of the World War II member of Armia Krajowa, Holocaust resistor and author Franciszek Ząbecki who testified at the trials of German war criminals Kurt Franz and the commandant of Treblinka extermination camp, Franz Stangl. Ząbecki proved that the "Güterwagen" boxcars crammed with Jewish prisoners on the way to Treblinka, were returning empty.[2]
