I'm reading my grandmother's memoirs. She was a resident of Krakow and a Holocaust survivor.

"we moved to a village called Why-give-neek-ee (ph), which was a suburb of Krakow. Why-give-neek-ee (ph) is a big city now. At that time (1941) it was a country."

Any idea what Polish word she is saying here?

Styr,
Probably you are looking for Lagiewniki (Łagiewniki). This is one of southern districts of Cracow, it is not seperate city anymore.
