Kunmadaras pogrom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kunmadaras pogrom was a post-World War II anti-Semitic pogrom in Kunmadaras, Hungary.

The program resulted in the killing of two and wounding of fifteen Jews on May 22, 1946. The frenzy was instigated by the crowd's belief that the Jews had made sausage out of Christian children. According to JTA four Jews died.[1]
