Kaliłów [kaˈlʲiwuf] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Biała Podlaska, within Biała Podlaska County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 9 kilometres (6 mi) north-east of Biała Podlaska and 102 km (63 mi) north-east of the regional capital Lublin.

History

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany. From May to October 1941, the Germans operated the Stalag 307 prisoner-of-war camp in the village.[2] About 13,000 of the 140,000 POWs died there, and afterwards the camp was relocated to Dęblin.[2] In January 1943, the Germans pacified the village, murdering 23 inhabitants. It was a reprisal for the residents' aid to the POWs and resistance activities.
