The 1946 Kunmadaras Pogrom

K reminded me the environment of my hometown Jaszbereny in the post war years when the memorial tablet (see below) was set up in the synagogue wall for the 600 Jews assessinated at Auschwitz and the Forced Labour Battalions. That very year, 1946, not far away in Kunmadaras, there had been a bloody pogrom  inspired by a rumour that Jews were making sausages out of children. Three Jews were killed and fifteen were injured. 


Rajk, the Minister of Interior (later hanged for "Zionist"), immediately dispatched a mission that jailed eight perpetrators. In the trial that followed, two of the leaders (a teacher and a provincial bureaucrat) were sentenced to death and the others, all poor peasants, to up to eight years. The Kisgazda (Smallholder) Party came out in defense of the criminals, and the case became entangled in a political battle between the dominant conservative forces and the minuscule group of Jewish Communists that had not yet strengthened their hold on power. In the end, no one was punished.

The postwar pogroms are essential to an understanding of the Holocaust, of the importance of Israel and of European anti-Semitism, which is popularly seen as a Nazi phenomenon. Even AFTER the Holocaust, the remaining Jews (the few who had not been killed) were ready to take up their lives again in the only nations and towns they had ever known. The E. Europeans, on their own, with no Germans left to encourage them, made it abundantly clear that they would not allow this to happen and that the 1000 year adventure of the Jews in E. Europe was over.

It always comes back to the blood libel. In Kielce, the rumor was that the Jews were holding a Christian child in the basement of a building. The building didn't have a basement, as they discovered after they killed the Jews upstairs.

Yes, but Kielce was a town of certain importance, with universities and a Polish middle class. Kunmadaras is a godforgotten hellhole in the Tisza swamps.

Which is worse, a pogrom in a sophisticated city or an ignorant backwater?

You dont really expect me to answer your rethoric question.

Without comparing evil and evil, I think that the small backwater village in that roadless Tisza swamps (today they have been drained) village, everybody was familiar with everybody and they knew personally the victims and their families. They had worked with Jews and women had served in Jewish families, they knew Jewish customs and some old people can remember the broche for Shabbes candles. They KNEW their Jews yet they beat them to death. The details are incredible: A Jew mentioned that the teacher was wearing his "bunda" (padded coat) and like that.

Bunda = fur coat

Yes, and wasn't event more shocking to the villagers to learn that the Jews that they thought they knew so well were actually making sausages out of children?

Jewish ritual sacrifice of non-Jews is one of those things that's always happened in history but we're not supposed to talk about it. Rabbinic Jews consider non-Jews not to have a soul, and to be on the level of animals. This is explicit Talmudic theology, and it's not something you can argue about. The reports of Jewish ritual sacrifice extend from antiquity, when in the second Jewish revolt, Jews massacred tens of thousands of Greeks and Romans, depopulating all of Cyprus and parts of Lybia (which led to Roman reprisal and the destruction of the temple), and committing such gruesome atrocities like wrapping themselves in the intestines of their victims. Later in the 600's with the brief Persian conquest of Jerusalem, Jews allied with the Persians to betray their neighbors and massacred 90,000 Christians, which for the time was a gigantic number. Jewish ritual sacrifice was documented later in the Middle Ages: the most diverse societies throughout time recognized that Jews engage in human sacrifice and mass murder. In the Soviet Union the Jewish-run OGPU gulag system was responsible for the deaths of millions, and Jews made up over 50% of Cheka death squads (read Yuri Slezkine's book). In Hungary itself Bela Kun's Bolshevist regime, almost entirely made up of Jews, was responsible for murders and atrocities against the Hungarians, who have reason to remember this perfidy. In most of these "Communist" murders, the undercurrent was one of Rabbinic Jewish ritual sacricice. The murder of the Russian royal family, carried out by Jews under Jew Sverdlov's orders, was a typical Rabbinic ritual sacrifice, carried out with full religious ceremony.

Yes, it's all true. The suppression of Jewish religious practice under the allegedly atheist Bolsheviks was all a smokescreen. Ditto the Doctor's Plot, the execution of Mikhoels (a cousin of a cousin, BTW), etc.

In fact both Lenin and Stalin were Jews, as were, in fact ALL of the leaders of the Soviet Union - Brezhnev, Chernenko, even Yeltsin. They gave the impression of being drunken Russian louts but this was just a disguise for their Yiddishkeit. No true Russian would have had anything to do with that load of internationalist atheistic crap that was Bolshevism. All except for Putin - Putin is the first true Russian leader since the Czar. May he reign for 100 years!

I understand that the murder of the Czar was carried out by the Lubvaticher Rebbe himself strictly in accordance with the method prescribed in (the secret book of ) the Talmud for the sacrifice of goyim. I can't even bear to tell you what the Rebbe did with Anastasia. Let's just say that the matzohs in Yekaterinburg that year were extra special. I know that I'm not supposed to tell you all this, but I know that you're a person of sound judgment and won't repeat it anywhere.

lol K you don't take the bait as easily as I'd thought...

(yes I wrote that comment, mostly tongue-in-cheek...I'm part Jewish but enjoy playing this game)

You should both be more careful. Jew-haters could easily come across those comments and propagate them among people who don't get the joke. People have believed such things about us in the past, and I see no reason why they could not be induced to believe those things and act on them again.

Putin is Jewish. He made Aliyeah just last week and was circumcised by Netanyahu.

Of course you will never mention the truth about Barak Obama. Barak... need I say more? He was born in the Sebastia Railway Station on that faihful day. Her Mother was among the first settlers of the "Territories". He is halachically Jewish, although there is a mystery about his father. So the Mossad invented a story about a Kenyan student that was killed "in an automobile accident". There are rumors that Shlomi Shabazi could be his father, and that is the reason that no one ever heard Obama singing - it would be immediately obvious that he is a Teymany.

BTW, the ultrasecret CIA plan to annex Samaria has only one purpose: if ever his real birth certificate emerges, it will say "USA Sovereign Territory of Samaria".
