Rioters attacked Jewish property and caused physical harm to women and children. During World War I and the Russian Civil War, pogrom violence turned into full-blown military actions. In some cases, pogroms wiped out of existence entire Jewish communities. More generally, they were part of a larger story of destruction, ethnic purification, and coexistence that played out in the region over a span of some six decades. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003ePogroms: A Documentary History \u003c\/em\u003esurveys the complex history of anti-Jewish violence by bringing together archival and published sources--many appearing for the first time in English translation.
