History
Życzyn was a royal village of the Kingdom of Poland,[2] administratively located in the Sandomierz Voivodeship in the Lesser Poland Province.[4]
According to the 1921 census, the village had a population of 689, entirely Polish by nationality and 99.0% Catholic by confession.[3]
21 Polish citizens were murdered by Nazi Germany in the village during World War II.[5]
On 16 November 2025 the railway in the village was demolished by an act of sabotage, for which Poland blamed two Russian-linked Ukrainian nationals.[6][7]
