Description
Jan Karski Association invites to take active participant in unveiling of a renewed tomb of Kielce Jewish Massacre and other celebrations.
The Kielce pogrom was an outbreak of violence against the Jewish community of Kielce July 4, 1946. It was done by a mob of local townsfolk including police and soldiers. Following a false tale of child kidnapping, including allegations of blood libel which led to a police investigation, violence broke out which resulted in 42 dead (39 Jews and 3 non-Jewish Poles), and 40 more injured.
