The Legacy of the Kielce Pogrom
June 28, 2011
“… The sight of the large, modern apartment house on Planty Street was the ultimate in ruthless havoc. … The immense courtyard was still littered with bloodstained iron pipes, stones and clubs, which had been used to crush the skulls of Jewish men and women. Blackening puddles of blood still remained. … Blood-drenched papers were scattered on the ground — sticky with gore, they clung to the earth though a strong wind blew through the yard.”
