The unlandmarked 1941 Jewish mass grave is located at Sosnitsa, dug in for Jews of Baranovka. The isolated wooded flat land between fields and woods has signs or plaques in local language mentioning the Holocaust. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all via continuous fence. 1-20 stones, all in original location, date from 20th century. No stones were removed, broken, or toppled. The mass grave has tombstones with metal fences around graves. The municipality owns the property only used for Jewish cemetery. Adjacent properties are agricultural and forest. Rarely, local residents visit. Jewish individuals within country re-erected stones in 1992. Now, there is occasional clearing or cleaning by authorities. Within the limits of the mass grave are no structures. Vegetation overgrowth is a seasonal problem preventing access. Moderate threats: uncontrolled access, pollution, vegetation and vandalism. Slight threats: weather erosion and proposed nearby development.
