The Haganah and Warsaw Uprising clearly demonstrated the Jewish will to fight. Were there any accounts of successful defenses against Cossack attacks in Eastern Europe?
Hello there. Hope you don't mind me replying 2 months later lol. Also, I am no historian but I have been researching the pogroms. I would suggest looking into the pogrom in Zhitomir in 1905--generally the self-defense was pretty successful in this instance. Also, look up Tetiv pogroms 1919. I found a interesting person account about the Zelbshuts(Yiddish for self defense) in Tetiv during the civil war against insurgent bands.
