Wygoda [vɨˈɡɔda] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Łomża, within Łomża County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi) south of Łomża and 69 km (43 mi) west of the regional capital Białystok.

## History

[edit]

During the Polish January Uprising, on July 21, 1863, the forest of Wygoda was the site of a Russian massacre of 50 unarmed young Poles, mostly students from Łomża who joined the uprising.[2][3] The victims were tortured and murdered slowly in gruesome ways.[4] They were undressed and tied to trees, some had their eyes gouged out, bones broken or insides torn out before they died.[3][4]

After the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II, the village was occupied by the Soviet Union from 1939 to 1941, and then by Nazi Germany from 1941 to 1944.
