The modern notion of Pogroms began mostly in the Russian Empire during the early 19th century, beginning with the Odessa pogroms.
Over more than a hundred years, tens of thousands of innocent Jewish civilians, men women and children were massacred by rampaging mobs.
Those who were murdered in this barbaric fashion are regarded as Jewish martyrs.

The Pogroms overlap with the beginnings of the Holocaust as well as happening during and after the Holocaust.

The 1991 Crown Heights riot in Brooklyn, New York is regarded as a latter day Pogrom that resulted in the killing of Yankel Rosenbaum and another man who looked like a Hasidic Jew.
