Between Tragedy and Infamy — March 1968

  • Leo Cooper

Abstract

The Kielce pogrom was the culmination of the continuous victimisation of Jewish survivors. It succeeded in convincing the majority of Jews that there was no place for them in Poland. After the pogrom the number of Jews in Poland was drastically reduced. A mass exodus took place, and by the spring of 1949 only about 80,000 Jews remained in Poland.
