The Kunmadaras pogrom was a post-World War II anti-Semitic pogrom in Kunmadaras, Hungary on 22 May 1946. The pogrom resulted in the killing of four and wounding of fifteen Jews.
The riot started in the marketplace as a spontaneous protest against a suspected profiteer. Since traditional occupation of the Jews in the area was trading, the image of a profiteer was conflated with that of a Jew. Therefore the riot grew into an anti-Jewish pogrom. The frenzy was further instigated by the rumors that the Jews were stealing Christian children.
