About Antoni Listowski

Lived 1865 – 1927 (aged 62). Antoni Listowski was a Polish military officer.

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.

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 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."
