Biała Niżna

Biała Niżna [ˈbʲawa ˈɲiʐna] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Grybów, within Nowy Sącz County, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, in southern Poland.

[1] The nearest ghetto lay about 3 km from Biala Biała Niżna, in Grybów.

The Nazis gathered about 2.500 Jews there from Krużlowa Niżna, Krużlowa Wyżna, Stara Wieś, Siołków, Mszalnica, Kąclowa, Biała Wyżna, Ptaszków but also from Lodz and its surroundings.

That's how this small village in southern Poland became one of the largest sites of martyrdom.

According to Stanisław R., the witness of the shooting, among 360 Jews killed in Biała Niżna, 60 were children.
