Kielce pogrom kills Jewish Holocaust survivors

← Terug naar het dashboard
📅 4 Juli 1946 📍 Polen

Local residents and members of Polish security forces attacked surviving and returning Jews in Kielce; 42 Jews were killed. The pogrom drew on entrenched antisemitism and blood-libel allegations and accelerated the flight of Jewish survivors from Poland. It shows that liberation did not end antisemitic violence or guarantee safe return.
