*The description of [[pogrom]] is not precisely correct.  Merriam-Webster calls it an organized [[massacre]] of helpless people.  Pogrom is a [[Yiddish]] term used in [[Russian]] beginning in the late 1800s to describe an organized campaign of [[violence]] (not always a "massacre") against [[Jewish]] people in [[Russia]].
