Wyszków ([ˈvɨʂkuf]; Yiddish: ווישקאָוו Vishkov) is a town in northeastern Poland with 26,500 inhabitants (2003). It is the capital of Wyszków County (Polish: powiat wyszkowski). Wyszków is in the Masovian Voivodeship (since 1999); previously it was in the Warsaw Voivodeship (until 1975) and the Ostrołęka Voivodeship (1975–1998).
The village of Wyszków was first documented in 1203. The town was founded in 1502. It was destroyed during the Second Northern War in 1655-1660, when it lost its significance in the region. Industry developed after 1897, when the Pilawa-Tluszcz-Ostrołęka railway was built.
Before World War II half of Wyszków's population of 9,000 were Jewish; after the war there were none. On 14 September 1997 a memorial to Holocaust victims was unveiled in Wyszków. It is made of reclaimed Jewish gravestones that had been removed from the site in 1939 by German forces, who used them as paving stones and to build the local Gestapo headquarters. Scores of these desecrated tombstones were recovered and incorporated as part of the monument.

Well I don't know why you come here
But you can't stay
Let's make that clear
Your eyes are closed but you don't speak
Is it comfort that you seek
Maybe we can just pretend
Leaves are falling down like rain
And I look to you again
Would you come away with me
Leaves are falling down like rain
You can see right through my pain
Like a window to the sea
Now your standing in the rain
That old feelings back again
But I don't know you anymore
The love I have is from before
And it's falling
Falling
Falling
Leaves are falling down like rain
And I look to you again
But it's only just a sea
Leaves are falling down like rain
You can see right through my pain
Like a window to the sea
