Anti-Semitism embedded in post-WWII Poland

Jan T. Gross, a Princeton professor, has written an astonishing book, an expose of vicious anti-Semitism, complete with medieval, murderous pogroms raging in Poland -- after the end of World War II. Fear documents in meticulous detail how, after the Nazi defeat, Polish citizens of all classes set upon the remaining Jews in their communities and murdered them outright. During the 1946 Kielce pogrom, soldiers who were called to the scene to restore order instead tossed women out of windows. In the courtyard below, townspeople finished off those not yet dead. Blood pooled in the streets as people executed their Jewish neighbors mercilessly. An infant was shot in the head, its mother already dead, because, the murderer says, "it was crying."
