Pogrom or Revenge?The Armed Operation of the “Freedom and Independence

Opis

The book presents a micro-historical study of the attack on the town of Parczew in eastern Poland, carried out on 5 February 1946 by soldiers from the anti-Communist Freedom and Independence Association (Zrzeszenie Wolność i Niezawisłość). The author challenges the perception of the events as an anti-Semitic pogrom, thus far broadly accepted in historical literature, arguing instead that it was strictly a retaliatory operation against Communist collaborators.
