Rethinking Kishinev: How a Riot Changed 20th Century Jewish History

Kishinev’s 1903 pogrom was the first event in Russian Jewish life to receive international attention. The riot, which left 49 dead in an obscure  border town, dominated the headlines of the western press for weeks, intruded on US-Russian relations, and impacted an astonishing array of institutions. Why did it have such impact?

With Steven Zipperstein, the Daniel E. Koshland Professor in Jewish Culture and History at Stanford University.
