The Kunmadaras pogrom took place in Hungary on May 22, 1946, in the village of Kunmadaras. A mob attacked and killed several Jewish residents, fueled by false rumors that Jews were kidnapping Christian children and hoarding food. The violence occurred in a tense postwar atmosphere marked by economic hardship, political instability, and lingering antisemitism. Despite the Holocaust having ended only a year earlier, antisemitic sentiments remained strong in parts of Hungarian society. Several perpetrators were later arrested and tried, but the event remains a disturbing example of postwar anti-Jewish violence in Eastern Europe.
The owner of the objects was the son-in-law of Ferenc Neuländer, who died in the famous Kunmadarasi pogrom, right after the war. (Dr Miklós Fried's wife Kató Neuländer)
