Historical calendar: the anniversary of the pogrom on Poles in Buk, Poland. It is simply a uncommon minute erstwhile Jews dropped their masks and went straight against the Polish population.
Today in our calendar we will look at the circumstances accompanying this event.
During the Spring of the Peoples, the situation in Wielkopolska was tense. erstwhile news of the Berlin Revolution began to gather here and there noble-boy troops. In Buk, there were initially no fights, but the atmosphere was cut with a knife. The tension reached zenith, and in anticipation of the uprising, any Germans and Jews in fear assumed white-red bows, so that in the event of a Polish triumph they would not be accused of treason.
By mid-April, Buk occupied a large division of insurgents gathered, but already on 18 April the city was overrun by the Prussians. After they left, the situation returned to normal, but more fighting took place on May 3. Due to the crushing advantage of the enemy (especially in artillery) the Polish commanders (Eugeniusz Sczaniecki and Kazimierz Niegolewski) decided to withdraw.
The Prussians led by Captain Boenigk again occupied the city and then the pogrom of Polish civilians began. It wouldn't have happened if it weren't for the local Jews. These indicated to the Germans the homes of Poles who supported the revolt and actively participated in it. | As a consequence of bloody attacks of combined Jewish-Prussian forces, about 120 Poles died and dozens more were severely beaten and robbed. In the local church, among others, the priest was murdered.
W brochure p. ‘The year 1848 in the old Bukov district’ by Władysław Stachowski, we read, among others:
In many cases, Jews played the function of denunciants. During the day, a group of troops led by a judaic tailor to Dr. Mosse’s house, who, according to an application circulating today, was to command the insurgents during a skirmish. At the command of an officer, he was arrested, beaten with flasks and barrels of shotguns so heavy over his head that within 100 steps of his home he fell unconscious on the ground. expected to have died, he was left on the street.
Throughout the evening, citizens were abused and arrested, mainly thanks to the denunciation of the Jews, but most of them were released again. Not even a night has put an end to barbarism. ... On the same night at 2 p.m., 3 Jews brought so many soldiers to the home of teacher Karol Klarowski. He was pulled out of bed, stabbed in the head with a butt, punched in the face, and the hebrew Guttmann dragged him by his hair.
The epilogue of this communicative occurred a small later. The Prussians withdrew from the city and it was again acquired by Polish churchmen. The civilian population immediately took vengeance for their fellow countrymen, all the more so as everyone knew who the Jews were for reporting and conducting attacks. judaic shops and synagogues were looted and respective Jews were killed, who were most active during the pogrom. According to Władysław Stachowski, the material losses of the Jews were small, due to the fact that they had carefully hidden the most valuable possessions in advance erstwhile they rightly predicted revenge.
