Jewish houses looted, inhabitants killed

In the month of August, the entry of Polish troops into Minsk was accompanied by the looting of Jewish homes and the murder of inhabitants.

Minsk had been struck fourteen years earlier during the pogrom of the October Manifesto, by Russian troops. Here it is struck by the Polish army. The city would change hands again before the border was fixed, and its community would have known three different armies in its streets within a decade.
