Rintfleisch massacres

The Rintfleisch or Rindfleisch movement was a series of massacres against Jews in 1298, during which 146 communities were destroyed and between 20,000 and 100,000 Jews were killed. The event, in later terminology a pogrom, was the first large-scale persecution in Germany since the First Crusade.
