It is a rural locality; no separately organized Jewish community of its own is documented, with local Jews attached to nearby district towns such as Annopol and Kraśnik. Under the German occupation the village suffered a wartime atrocity against its Polish inhabitants: on 2 February 1944 Borów was pacified and about 300 villagers were massacred in reprisal for support of the Polish resistance; a memorial marks the event. (Borów is a common Polish place-name — several villages share it — so records should be cross-checked; this is the Kraśnik-County Borów.) <small>Sources: Wikipedia — Borów, Kraśnik County, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bor%C3%B3w,_Kra%C5%9Bnik_County</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Ryfka Ruchla Tenenbaum (b.1844)]] | Born 11/25/1844 | | [[Szyfra Laja Kac (b.1901)]] | Born 1901 | | [[Moszek Winer (b.1902)]] | Born 1902 | | [[Shmuel Winer (b.1902)]] | Born 1902 | | [[Sarah Chana Winer (b.1907)]] | Born 1907 |
