Antoni Listowski
Antoni Listowski (29 March 1865, Warsaw – 13 September 1927, Warsaw) was a Polish military officer. After being a major general of the Imperial Russian Army (from 1916 on), he became general in the Polish Armed Forces and took part in the Polish–Soviet War.[1]
General Antoni Listowski won the battle for Pinsk in March 1919 commanding the 9th Infantry Division.[2] The city was taken over in a late-winter blizzard with considerable human losses sustained by his 34th Infantry Regiment who forced the Bolsheviks to retreat to the other side of the river.[3] Template:Quote
On 5 April 1919, Listowski's troops committed the Pinsk massacre, executing thirty five suspected pro-Bolshevik Jews. While Listowski was not directly responsible for the massacre, which was ordered by Aleksander Narbutt-Łuczyński, he did justify the killings afterwards. In his order to the population of Pinsk of 7 April 1919, two days after the massacre, Listowski claimed that the "town's Jews as a whole were guilty of the crime of blatant ingratitude."[4]
