Sokołów Podlaski [sɔˈkɔwuf pɔdˈlaski] is a town in Poland, in Masovian Voivodeship, about 80 kilometers east of Warsaw. It is the capital of Sokołów County. Population is 18,434 (2004).
Jews in Sokołów
Before World War II, Sokolow Podlaski was home to a large population of Jews. With the German occupation at the beginning of WWII, many Jews fled, a number east to the USSR. Those who remained were rounded up and sent to Treblinka extermination camp where they were murdered on September 22, 1942.
It was the hometown of the father of Jack Ruby, the killer of Lee Harvey Oswald.
