Lwów pogrom of Jewish population of Lwów (now Lviv) took place on November 21 - November 23 1918 during Polish-Ukrainian War and resulted in several dozen victims.
The chaos during Polish take-over of the city was accompanied by isolated events in which unknown number of Poles, Jews and Ukrainians perished. The Jews of Lwów attempted to remain neutral in the Polish-Ukrainian conflict over the city. The pogrom broke out after Polish forces managed to get control over all parts of the city, including the Jewish ghetto. Before withdrawing from the town, Ukrainian forces let the criminals out of the prisons. The town was also full of Austrian army deserters. The immediate cause of the pogrom were rumours about Jewish-Ukrainian collaboration. Polish forces were able to bring order to the city only after two days, on November 23.
Aftermath
The individuals accused of participation in the riot were punished by Polish authorities after they established themselves in the city. Eventually, the events also resulted in Polish government awarding liberal minority rights for Polish Jewish population (Little Treaty of Versailles).
The events were widely reported by European and American press, including The New York Times. The numbers stated have not been proved: according to Robert Blobaum approximately 150 Jews were murdered and 500 Jewish shops and their businesses were ransacked, though Morgenthau report counted 64 deaths. The exaggerated reports were later used as a means of pressure on Polish delegation during Paris peace conference.
