(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Pogrom is a Russian word describing a series of violent attacks on Jews in Russia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The pogroms encouraged the first emigration of Russian Jews to the United States. Many pogroms accompanied the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the following Russian civil war. However they were not limited to Russia, the Kristallnacht in Nazi Germany is now usually called Pogromnacht.
The word pogrom has now come into general use to mean an organized massacre.
