| Summary: | On July 4, 1946 in the city of Kielce a Polish mob, a Polish police detachment, and a unit of the Polish Army murdered over forty Jewish survivors and injured dozens more.1 The pogrom shocked Polish and international public opinion. How could it happen, many asked, that only a year after the Holocaust, Jews had been killed again. Why did people of Kielce, who had witnessed the annihilation of the city’s Jewish community, murder some of the few surviving Jews, most of whom would have left Poland anyway? After seventy-three years of research represented in innumerable publications, we still wonder., Researchers have adopted various approaches. Most believe it necessary to study the Holocaust in Kielce to understand Polish-Jewish relations afterward. |
