 In the spring of 1944, Sahryń was one of 150 Ukrainian villages (with its prewar Polish minority already deported), which was burned down by Polish partisans during the conflict of ethnic cleansing with Ukrainian OUN-UPA, along the Curzon Line.The conflict "continued throughout June 1944, resulting in considerable bloodshed and the destruction of dozens of Polish and Ukrainian villages".Sahryń was the site of the initial thrust of the AK counter-offensive against UPA, under the command of Lieutenant Zenon Jachymek, due to Ukrainian self-defence stationing there.
