Markuszowa is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wiśniowa, within Strzyżów County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 8km (05miles) south-west of Strzyżów and 300NaN0 south-west of the regional capital Rzeszów.
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany. In June 1943, the German gendarmerie carried out a massacre of five Poles, four farmers and one officer, as punishment for aiding Jews.[2]
