ABSTRACT
The Jewish boy, evacuated earlier from Western Ukraine, wrote his memoirs as an old man in Israel, to where he emigrated in the mid-1990s. The spontaneous crowd split into various groups and started to destroy the counters and workshops of the Poles in the market. Even during a pogrom, these spontaneous frontlines did not lie exclusively between Jews and Gentiles or between the representatives of different nationalities. From a Polish (Jewish, nomenklatura) point of view in 1946, the anti-Semitism in the Soviet home front, in the evacuation, or in the army was not an issue, unlike the post-war anti-Semitism in Poland. Sharnopolsky, as a loyal Soviet citizen, saw and remembered the victims of the pogrom taking place in a small Uzbek town. And the same is true about the Russian, Ukrainian, and other evacuated or refugee Jews, who found a temporary shelter in the Soviet home front during the war.
