Baranów [baˈranuf] is a village in Puławy County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland.

[2] In World War II, the Germans occupied Baranów in September 1939 and immediately took both Christians and Jews as hostages.

A Nazi ghetto was established in late 1941, containing both local Jews and hundreds of Jewish refugees who had fled to Baranów.

In May 1942, the German SS with their Ukrainian auxiliary troops came to town to round up the Jewish community to be deported to the killing camp Sobibor.

Fewer than 25 Baranów Jews survived the war, and the Jewish community was not reestablished in the village afterwards.
