Kielce pogrom

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

Allegations were made that 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.
