History

Wyszanów was a royal village of the Polish Crown, administratively located in the Ostrzeszów County in the Sieradz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.[2]

During the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II, in September 1939, the Germans deliberately threw a grenade into a basement where women and children were hiding, thus killing 16 people, including 11 children (the Wyszanów massacre, see also Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[3]
