A significant number of Jews were murdered very soon after the Holocaust. In Poland. for example there was a horrific pogrom at Kielce on 4 July 1946 which resulted in the death of 37 Jews who had survived the Holocaust. The Kielce pogrom had all the classic features of a medieval or Tsarist pogrom. It began with a 'blood libel' (yes, a blood libel in 1946 against Holocaust survivors). The mob got into such a frenzy that it even stopped trains passing through the railway station at Kielce and searched them for Jews. A number of Jews were dragged from the trains and two were murdered. As if all this were not bad enough, some Polish bishops refused to condemn the pogrom. Others, while condemning the murders, refused to condemn the blood libel. In the Wikipedia article on the pogrom, Cadinal Wyszynski is reported as having said: "that the popular hatred of Jews was caused by Jewish support for Communism, which had also been the reason why "the Germans murdered the Jewish nation". Wyszyński also gave some credence to blood libel rumours commenting that the question of the use of Christian blood was never completely clarified " Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kielce_pogrom There were other pogroms and murders of Jew in Poland in 1945-46. Eugen Kogon, in Der SS-Staat (first published in 1947) gives a figure of 600 Holocaust survivors murdered in Poland in 1945-46. In Poland, it has been customary to blame all this on Soviet agents seeking to bring Poland into disrepute, but there is no sound evidence of Soviet involvement.

∙ 14y agoThere are two answers to this question. First, some famous pogroms took place in cities in Russia like Odessa, Kishinev, and regions of Lithuania, the Ukraine, and other areas. These were promulgated by the highest levels of government and blessed by the Russian Orthodox church. Pogroms were characterized by looting, rape, murder and exile into a region of Southern Russia and neighboring Poland, then under Russian domination, called the 'Pale of Settlement'. Jews were not allowed to live anywhere outside this zone. They were also restricted as to the kinds of occupations they could pursue. Most people in this region were farmers and shopkeepers.
In Germany pogroms took place as far back as the crusades. In recent history, the most famous was 'Kristallnacht', the Night of Broken Glass, which took place after the staged burning of the Reichstag, set by Nazis and blamed on Jews and Communists. Shops and businesses were looted and destroyed, synagogues were burned, holy books and images desecrated, beatings, rapes, and murders, many while the police looked on in amusement.

What happened to Jewish people in Europe between 1900 and 1911?
Throughout the period c. 1880-1914 the Russian Tsars encouraged pogroms (violence against Jews). In 1905, when the Russians were defeated by the Japanese in the Far East, the pogroms got worse. Moreover, the Tsarist regime blamed the Jews for Russia's defeat. During this period many Jews fled from Russia and settled in the U.S. and, in some cases, Britain.

What was krystallnachat?
On November 9-10, 1938, the Nazis staged vicious pogroms-state sanctioned, anti-Jewish riots-against the Jewish community of Germany. These came to be known as Kristallnacht (translated literally, it means "Crystal Night" but it is now commonly translated as "Night of Broken Glass"), a reference to the untold numbers of broken windows of synagogues, Jewish-owned stores, community centers, and homes plundered and destroyed during the pogroms. Encouraged by the Nazi regime, the rioters burned or destroyed 267 synagogues, vandalized or looted 7,500 Jewish businesses, and killed at least 91 Jewish people. They also damaged many Jewish cemeteries, hospitals, schools, and homes as police and fire brigades stood aside. Kristallnacht was a turning point in history. The pogroms marked an intensification of Nazi anti-Jewish policy that would culminate in the Holocaust-the systematic, state-sponsored murder of Jews.
