This article reconstructs the events leading up to the killing, on the night of 26 May and early morning of 27 May 1945, of Jewish survivors who returned to their home town of Przedbórz near Radomsko after they had survived the Holocaust. This careful examination rests on both oral witness accounts and written sources, including interrogations and trial records, deposited at the Institute of National Remembrance, Poland. It examines one of the earliest anti-Jewish attacks in Poland after World War II and the events that followed to propose a new interpretation of postwar anti-Jewish violence. In doing so, this article sheds new light on how collective violence affects communal belonging, directly after the events and decades later.
