The information is incomplete and the issue to complex to be simply summed with such a biased quote. Piotrowski and Davies (whom he cites) have much more to say on that - see here - and certainly they would be appalled at an attempt to sum a complex issue with just one sentence. Why want you quote instead  just Stachura who writes about ""Jewish opposition to Polish independence""? Why not qualify it with Levy, who notes that ""Jews were the victims of thousands of pogroms, dozens of them in Poland""? Why not use Davies explanation that it was the normal wartime conditions (Polish-Ukrainian War, Polish-Soviet War) and not any targeted antisemitism that led to vast majority of Jewish deaths? Why not quote the contemporary observer, Sir Horace Rumbold, 9th Baronet, who wrote (cited by Davies) that ""the condition [of the Jews] in Poland, bad as it may have been or may still be, has been far better than in most of the surrounding countries""? The sentence, as it is currently, shows a biased POV, and needs to be rewritten to be neutral. To say that Polish independence was accompanied by wave of pogroms is as accurate as to say that Soviet liberation of Europe in 1945 was accompanied by waves of spontaneous greetings.| talk  "
