Strasbourg Riots against Jews

There have been reports of anti-Jewish riots in the ancient French town of Strasbourg.

Jews have found an uneasy life in Strasbourg throughout history. In the 14th Century, many were burned alive. There were laws in 1308 that forbid beards and male circumcision. There have also been infrequent pogroms against the Jews.
