Pogrom
Pogrom (from Russian:погром (pogrom); from "громить" IPA: [grʌˈmitʲ]- to wreak havoc, to demolish violently) is a form of riot attacking people and property.[1] In a pogrom, rioters attack a group of people, usually Jews, because of that group's Ethnicity or religion.[1] In a pogrom, the local authorities such as the police do not arrest the rioters and do not help the victims.[2] Rioters destroy the homes, businesses, and places of worship of the target group. People of the target group are physically attacked and usually some are murdered.[1]
Kristallnacht was a 1938 pogrom that affected tens of thousands of Jews in Nazi Germany. It was a major event leading up to the Holocaust.[3]

The common usage of the term pogrom to describe any attack against Jews throughout history disguises the great variation in the scale, nature, motivation, and intent of such violence at different times.
