Anti-Semitism in England
Anti-Semitism in England has Manifested Itself in Many Ways
In the year 1190/4950 a ban was enacted over the city of York in northern England, as a result of the 150 Jews who were massacred in the fortress ‘Clifford’s Tower’ at the direction of the King of England - Richard the Lion-Hearted. Until today, Jews who work in York travel to other places to sleep overnight, so as not to violate the ban.
The decree of the ‘yellow star’ was enforced on the Jews of England, by King Edward the First. In 1278 about 300 Jews were hung by order of the king, and many more were killed. The Jews of England were expelled in 1920/5051 by Edward the First, and were only allowed to return after approximately 350 years.
Today, about 297,000 Jews live in Britain, 200,000 of them in London.
