Berkeley's Center for Jewish Studies presents acclaimed historian Jeffrey Veidlinger's lecture discussing the Pogroms of 1918-1921. Drawing upon long-neglected archival materials, including thousands of newly discovered witness testimonies, trial records, and official orders, Professor Veidlinger shows for the first time how this wave of genocidal violence created the conditions for the Holocaust.
