Jacob Epstein

I have never found out that there was in my family an artist or anyone interested in the arts or sciences, and I have never been sufficiently interested in my 'family tree' to bother. My father and mother had come to America on one of those great waves of immigration that followed persecution and pogroms in Czarist Russia and Poland.

At age 14, my paternal grandfather fled Poland to escape the pogroms that killed tens of thousands of European Jews. He worked full-time for a cobbler in Boston, making his way to California and eventually starting his own business in Taft - the Goldman Oil Supply Company.

American Politician

Jonathan Sacks

Jews survived all the defeats, expulsions, persecutions and pogroms, the centuries in which they were regarded as a pariah people, even the Holocaust itself, because they never gave up the faith that one day they would be free to live as Jews without fear.

British Clergyman

Amy Bloom

My family kept its history to itself. On the plus side, I didn't have to hear nightmarish stories about the Holocaust, the pogroms, terrible illnesses, painful deaths. My elderly parents never even spoke about their ailments.

American Writer

Harold Brodkey

So an autobiography about death should include, in my case, an account of European Jewry and of Russian and Jewish events - pogroms and flights and murders and the revolution that drove my mother to come here.

American Author

Edgar Bronfman, Sr.

The search for a Jewish national home came about due to centuries of anti-Semitic pogroms, expulsions, discrimination and hate. The Holocaust was simply the evil culmination of all that came before it.

Canadian Businessman

Sebastian Junger

One could reasonably argue that the Turkish pogrom against the Armenians during World War I qualifies as a crime against humanity, as does the United States' ethnic cleansing of Native Americans.

Antony Blinken

My father's father fled a pogrom in Russia in the early 20th century and was welcomed to the United States. So was my stepmother, who escaped as a young girl from Communist Hungary in 1950.

American Statesman

Andrzej Duda

The members of my people who took part in the pogrom in Kielce after the end of World War II expelled themselves from the Polish people. That is my deep personal conviction.

Polish Politician

J. B. Pritzker

My great-grandfather came here as a refugee from the pogrom in Ukraine.

Argentinian Businessman

Pogroms are historical events where violence targeted specific communities, shaping their social and historical identity.

Historical Violence

'Pogrom' carries emotional weight due to its tragic associations, so use it with respect to historical sensitivity.

Sensitive Term

The word 'pogrom' isn't used for general violence; it's specific to organized, targeted attacks on groups.

Not Generic Violence
