Recenzje

Eugene Avrutin and Elissa Bemporad have done an enormous service by making this varied set of sources on pogroms available to an English-speaking audience. The selection of documents and arrangements of topics opens new vistas on this horrifying issue. The book guides the reader through thorny problems of definition and explanation in clear, interesting, and non-polemical ways, making it a perfect introduction and teaching resource.
