The anti-Jewish violence in Poland from 1944–1946 refers to a series of violent incidents in Poland that immediately followed the end of World War II in Europe and influenced the postwar history of the Jews as well as Polish-Jewish relations. The exact number of Jewish victims is a subject of debate with 327 documented cases,[1] and the range, estimated by different writers, from 1,000[2] to 2,000 (an undocumented minority view).[3] Jews constituted between 2% and 3% of the total number of victims of postwar violence in the country,[3][4][5] including the Polish Jews who managed to survive the Holocaust on territories of Poland annexed by the Soviet Union.[6] The incidents ranged from individual attacks to pogroms.

The resentment towards returning Jews among some local Poles included concerns that they would reclaim their property.[1
