Summary/Abstract: The objective of this article is to critically edit a previously unknown, important document: the first report by Cardinal August Hlond, Primate of Poland, devoted to the Kielce pogrom of 4 July 1946. It was found in the documentation of the pontificate of Pius XII, made available to researchers in recent years, stored in the Historical Archives of the Secretariat of State - Section for Relations with States and International Organisations. Other documents preserved in this archive (and in the Vatican Apostolic Archives) allow this document (as well as Hlond's second report, already known previously) to be placed in the context of interventions undertaken in the Vatican by private individuals, Jewish organisations and American and British diplomats.
