Michniów pronounced [ˈmixɲuf] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Suchedniów, within Skarżysko County, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, in south-central Poland.

The same night, the partisans headed by Jan Piwnik "Ponury", made a retaliatory assault on a German train from Kraków to Warsaw.

After ad hoc investigation, a further 11 persons, the only ones suspected by the Germans of underground activities, were sent to Auschwitz concentration camp, where 6 died.

The village became one of the best-known symbols of the Nazi German atrocities committed in rural Poland, although there were several greater massacres.

From early 1980s, on the initiative of the Główna Komisja Badania Zbrodni Hitlerowskich w Polsce a museum and a mausoleum to all Polish pacified villages was built in Michniów.
