Anti-Jewish Violence: Rethinking the Pogrom in East European History

Acknowledgments

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The idea for this book originated at an international academic conference held in Stockholm in May 2005, titled “Anti-Jewish Violence: Reconceptualizing ‘the Pogrom’ in European History, 17th–20th Century.” The articles in this book are a product of that conference. The partners in its organization included the International Center for Russian and East European Jewish Studies, Moscow; the Forum for Living History, Stockholm; the Swedish Committee against Antisemitism; the Baltic and East European Graduate School at Södertörn University, Stockholm; and the Leonid Nevzlin Research Center for Russian and East European Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The editors would like to thank the following institutions for their generous support of this volume: the Leonid Nevzlin Research Center for Russian and East European Jewry at the Hebrew University; Södertörn University, Stockholm; the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University, Portland, Oregon; and the Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies. ...
