An 8 year-old Polish boy incited the Kielce Pogrom after the end of the war. This boy, named Henryk Błaszczyk, and his father accused local holocaust survivors of kidnapping Polish children, holding them in a building at 7 Platy Street, and committing “ritual murder”. This resulted in a massacre of innocent survivors including Jewish men, women, and children. In 1998, when that boy turned 60 years old, he told a journalist that the entire story was a lie. The ruthlessness of this action and these murders sent the international message that Jews would not be safe to return to their homes across Europe - and thus began a mass exodus of survivors.

There are only about 20,000 people with Jewish ancestry currently living in Poland. Before the war, there were 3,000,000.
