What is a pogrom? To commemorate the centennial of the 1919 wave of anti-Jewish violence unleashed by the Russian Civil War, join a group of distinguished scholars as they discuss the origins, timing, consequences of pogroms in different regions and at different times in history. The pogroms will be studied both through the lenses of the specific geopolitical context where the violence erupted, as well as in a comparative framework in relation to anti-Black violence. The presenters will also explore the power of literary responses to anti-Jewish violence and reassess the role that pogroms play in Jewish memory and history.
The conference is organized thanks to the generous support of the Nevzlin Research Center for Russian and East European Jews, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and The Blavatnik Family Foundation.
