History
The oldest known mention of Jaryszów dates back to 1265, when it was part of the Piast-ruled fragmented Poland.[2] Its name comes from the Old Polish male name Jaromir, Jarosław or Jarysz.[2] It later became part of Bohemia, Prussia and unified Germany. In the final stages of World War II, in January 1945, the Germans executed a group of prisoners of the Auschwitz concentration camp in the village.[3]
