The Strasbourg Massacre: When Religious Hatred Became Mass Murder
Sacred Violence: Religious Wars and More · 9 ноября 2026 г. · 6 мин
In February 1349, hundreds of Jewish residents of Strasbourg were murdered as the Black Death spread across Europe. Centuries of religious antisemitism, combined with political struggles and economic interests, helped transform accusations of well poisoning into organized persecution. This episode examines how religious prejudice and claims of communal protection can turn violence against innocent people into something perpetrators believe is morally justified.
