Kielce pogrom (1946)
On the Refugee crises map as “Kielce”
4 Jul 1946 — A false rumour of a kidnapped child becomes a pogrom in which soldiers, police and townspeople kill 42 Jews, survivors of the Holocaust. In the months that follow some 90,000 to 100,000 Jews leave Poland, most of them for the American zone of Germany. Remember them.
