The Kielce pogrom, in my opinion, is more of a stain on the Polish people than you allow. If it had been a single person, it could be written off as something that does not indicate a wider social ill. But a whole town engaged in a pogrom and so soon after the whole world knew what happened to the Jews. I don’t condemn the whole Polish nation for it, nor change anything I’ve said to mitigate the undeserved “Polish Death Camp” label, but Kielce spoke about something deeper and wider in terms of Polish anti-Semitism still being an active force.

JR, as I said That killing of 42 innocentJews is indefensible - it was plain wrong. -- but you cannot call it a stain on the Polish people - this was one incident in one city. You can call it a stain on the people of Kielce, but not on the whole nation.

It was a sin, a murder, a horrible, evil thing committed by the people of Kielce and unforgivable

I dispute it being deeper and wider for the simple reason that there were no other instances in the post war period.
