Tegning fra 1904, USA's præsident Roosevelt konfronterer Tsaren med pogromen i Kishinev

Chişinău-pogromen var en anti-jødisk pogrom, som fandt sted i Kishinev, hovedstaden i datidens Bessarabienprovins i Rusland (nutidens Chişinău i Moldova), den 6. og 7. april 1903. 47 jøder blev dræbt, 92 alvorligt såret og omkring 500 lettere såret og over 700 huse plyndret eller ødelagt. Efter pogromen tog udvandringen til Palæstina fart. I staten Israels historie benævnes det som anden aliyah.

From the source page [1]:

In this print, which appeared after a 1903 pogrom in Kishinev, a "Russian Jew" carries on his back a large bundle labeled "Oppression;" hanging from the bundle are weights labeled "Autocracy," "Robbery," "Cruelty," "Assassination," "Deception," and "Murder." In the background, on the right, a Jewish community burns, while in the upper left corner, President Theodore Roosevelt asks the Emperor of Russia, Nicholas II, "Now that you have peace without, why not remove his burden and have peace within your borders?"
