How the 1903 Kishiner Pogrom Changed Jewish History
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at UCSC Humanities 1 Building, Room 210
(see times)
The Helen Diller Family Endowment Distinguished Lecture in Jewish Studies presents: Steven J. Zipperstein
Kishinev's 1903 Pogrom was the first instance when an event in Russian Jewish life received wide hearing. The riot, leaving 49 dead, in an obscure border town, dominated headlines in the western world for weeks, it intruded on US-Russian relations, and it left an imprint on an astonishingly diverse range of institutions including the nascent Jewish army in Palestine, the NAACP, and, most likely, the first version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. How was it that incident came to define so much, for so long?
