Kielce pogrom

Kielce pogrom refers to the events on July 4, 1946, when over forty Polish Jews were massacred and eighty wounded out of about two hundred who returned home after World War II. Among victims were also two non-Jewish Poles.

Allegedly, this was a part of a much wider action organized by the KGB in countries controlled by the Soviet Union and in the preparation of Kielce pogrom, soviet-dominated agencies like the Urzad Bezpieczenstwa were used.
