Talk:Mława pogrom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Was this a pogrom? I think we should consider renaming this article.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 23:43, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Well: Pogrom is a form of riot, a massive violent attack on a particular group; ethnic, religious or other, primarily characterized by destruction of their environment (homes, businesses, religious centers). Usually pogroms are accompanied with physical violence against the targeted people and even murders, in some cases to the degree of massacre. I think the events in Mława have been usually referred to as pogrom. --Lysy^talk 05:54, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
