Poisoned Wells and Persecution: The Jews in the Black Death

Описание: #historyfacts #BlackDeath #JewishHistory #MedievalEurope

Between 1348 and 1350, Europe faced one of the deadliest catastrophes in its history: the Black Death. As cities collapsed under disease and fear, medieval society searched desperately for an explanation — and for someone to blame.

This video explores how Jewish communities across Central Europe were accused of poisoning wells, a rumor born from panic rather than evidence. These accusations led to mass expulsions, pogroms, and executions in many German and Central European cities, often with the approval or silence of local authorities.

Using medieval chronicles, legal records, and historical analysis, we examine how fear turned into violence, how superstition replaced reason, and how thousands were condemned not by the plague, but by rumor. It is a story of persecution during crisis, where social order collapsed and long-standing prejudices resurfaced with deadly consequences.

If you are interested in medieval history, the Black Death, and the dark side of European society, this is a chapter that must be remembered.

History is not only shaped by disease, but by how societies respond to it.

This channel uncovers the darker chapters of the past — moments when fear ruled, justice failed, and communities were destroyed in the name of survival. From medieval plagues to mass persecutions, these are the stories often left out of textbooks.
