Sokal Jewish Guide Map

Google 2007 map of Sokal.  Significant areas of interest have been added to this map.

Sites marked on this map are based on our findings during a visit to Sokal in May, 2012.  We were lucky enough to meet a very old Polish lady who still had strong memories about the Pogroms that took place during WW2.  She was very keen to lead us to the place where many Jews were slaughtered and buried in a pit alongside the road.  Today, if you visit that site, you would have no idea that many Jewish victims are buried here.  There are no signs marking this spot or any commemoration in respect of them.
