Partisan Congress Riots in Bratislava

On August 1-6, 1946, anti-Jewish riots erupted in Bratislava and other Slovak cities during a national congress of former Slovak partisans. Triggered by a restitution law mandating the return of Aryanized property to Jews, the riots demonstrated how postwar economic conflict and prewar antisemitism combined to fuel violence against survivors seeking to reclaim their confiscated property.
