Kielce cemetery massacre

Kielce cemetery massacre

The Kielce cemetery massacre refers to an event that occurred on May 23 1943, in which 45 Jewish children who had survived the Kielce ghetto and concentration camps were brought to the Pakosz cemetery in Kielce, Poland and were murdered by German Nazis. The children ranged in age from 15 months to 15 years old.

This event is not to be confused with the Kielce pogrom, which occurred in the same city in 1946.
