Persecution, pogroms, and genocide have plagued humanity for centuries, costing millions of lives and haunting survivors. Economists and economic historians have recently made new contributions to the understanding of these phenomena. We provide a novel conceptual framework which highlights the inter-relationship between the intensity of persecution and migration patterns across dozens of historical episodes. Using this framework as a lens, we survey the growing literature on the causes and consequences of persecution, pogroms, and genocide. Finally, we discuss gaps in the literature and take several tentative steps towards explaining the differences in survival rates of European Jews in the 20^th century.

几个世纪以来，迫害、大屠杀和种族灭绝一直困扰着人类，夺去了数百万人的生命，并困扰着幸存者。经济学家和经济史学家最近对理解这些现象做出了新的贡献。我们提供了一个新颖的概念框架，强调了数十个历史事件中迫害强度与移民模式之间的相互关系。以这个框架为视角，我们调查了越来越多关于迫害、大屠杀和种族灭绝的原因和后果的文献。^{最后，我们讨论了文献中的差距，并采取了几个尝试性步骤来解释 20世纪}欧洲犹太人存活率的差异。
