Antoni Listowski
Antoni Listowski was a Polish military officer. He reached the rank of general and took part in the Polish-Soviet War.
General Antoni Listowski won the battle for Pinsk in March 1919 commanding the 9th Infantry Division. 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.
On 5 April 1919, Listowski's troops committed the Pinsk massacre, executing thirty five Jews. In his order to the population of Pinsk of 7 April 1919, two days after the massacre, Listowski justified the massacre as the "town's Jews as a whole were guilty of the crime of blatant ingratitude".
