Pogroms

Pogroms are violent attacks aimed primarily at Jewish communities, often involving destruction of property, assault, and sometimes murder. Historically, these events have been driven by prejudice, misinformation, and social or political tensions, leading mobs or groups to target Jewish individuals and their possessions. Pogroms have occurred in various countries and times, notably in Eastern Europe and during the rise of extremist ideologies. While motivations and contexts vary, they reflect episodes of collective violence rooted in discrimination and intolerance, causing immense suffering and loss within affected communities.
