History


Góry Wysokie was a private village within the Polish Crown, owned by Polish nobility, administratively located in the Sandomierz Voivodeship in the Lesser Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[2]

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in March 1940, Germans murdered 117 Poles from the region in the forest of Góry Wysokie (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[3]
