Description
Pogroms: A Documentary History explores the long history of anti-Jewish violence in East European borderlands. Beginning with the 1881-1882 pogroms in the Russian Empire, this volume concludes with events in Poland on the eve of World War II.
Organized chronologically, each chapter includes a unique array of archival and published sources, selected by a scholar expert in the period under investigation. These documents provide eyewitness testimony, oral histories, diary excerpts, literary works, trial records, and press coverage, as well as memos and field reports from army officials, investigative commissions, humanitarian organizations, and government officials.
This volume offers a nuanced analysis of the specific geopolitical context where violence erupted, capturing the nature of the waves of pogroms that broke out in different regions at different times. By examining the complex motivations and reactions of those involved, this guide provides a balanced understanding of anti-Jewish violence in history.
