The people in these caskets survived the Holocaust—only to be murdered by an antisemitic mob just over a year later.
Police investigated, but the crowd grew restless. Eventually, shots were fired into the Jewish Committee building, and dozens of Jews were beaten to death in the streets.
When Polish photographer Julia Pirotte arrived in Kielce, the mob had murdered at least 42 Jews and wounded many others. She captured the heartbreak at the funeral in this scene and photographed survivors hospitalized from their injuries.
Although the Holocaust ended in 1945, hatred of Jews across Europe remained.
Whatever the slimy Pollocks said was a pretext. The real reasons are they were disappointed Hitler didn't finish the job & because now Jews were returning to reclaim the homes that those weasels stole
