On Thursday, July 4, 1946, a crowd of Kielce residents, with the participation of militiamen and soldiers, committed a massacre of Holocaust survivors living in a building at 7/9 Planty Street. The spark that initiated the outbreak of violence was a rumor about the ritual murder of Christian children.
At least 40 Jews were killed during the pogrom, as well as 3 Poles who defended them. About 40 people were injured. The consequence of the Kielce Pogrom was an outbreak of panic among Polish Jews and a wave of emigration, which included approximately 100,000 people.
Check this, not much needed for gossip to generate hatred, the consequence of which may be someone's death.
Check how functional
how well it holds up
hatred in our century still is,.
It takes obstacles so lightly.
How easy it is - to jump, to catch.
It's not like other feelings.
Older and younger than it at the same time.
It gives rise to causes,
that bring it to life.
If it's dormant, it is never an eternal sleep.
Insomnia doesn't take away her strength, but it gives it to her.
Religion or not religion -
just to kneel at the start.
Homeland or not homeland -
just to break into a run.
Nice and fair to start with.
Then it runs alone.
Hate. Hate.
Its face twists into a grimace
love ecstasy.
Ah, these other feelings -
frail and sluggish.
Since when brotherhood
can you count on crowds?
Compassion if ever
crossed the finish line first?
How many people are carried away by doubt with?
It olny knows, the one who kidnaps.
Talented, intelligent, very hard-working.
Needless to say how many songs she composed.
How many pages of the story did she number?
How many carpets of people she spread
in how many squares and stadiums.
Let's not lie to ourselves:
it can create beauty.
Its glow is wonderful on a dark night.
Great bursts of explosions at a rose dawn.
It's hard to deny the pathos of the ruins
and ribald humor
a column standing robustly above them.
She is a master of contrast
between noise and silence,
between red blood and white snow.
And above all, she never gets bored
the motif of a neat executioner
over the defiled victim.
Ready for new tasks at any time.
If it has to wait, it will wait.
They say it's blind. Blind?
It has the sharp eyes of a sniper
and looks boldly into the future
- she's the only one.
"Hate" by Wiesława Szymborska
