Description: Pogroms: A Documentary History surveys the complex history of anti-Jewish violence by bringing together archival and published sources--many appearing for the first time in English translation. The documents assembled here include eyewitness testimony, oral histories, diary excerpts, literary works, trial records, and press coverage. They also include memos and field reports authored by army officials, investigative commissions, humanitarian organizations, and government officials. This landmark volume and its distinguished roster of scholars provides an unprecedented view of the history of pogroms.
Review Quotes: "The volume offers a useful addition to university teaching on pogroms and anti-Semitism. While there is extensive research literature on the subject in German and English, sources, insofar as they have been published, are usually only available in Eastern European or Jewish languages. This volume now makes additional sources available in English." -- Kai Struve, Zeitschrift für Ostmitteleuropa-Forschung
