Speaking with shadows: The medieval massacre of the Jews of York

We’re still busy behind the scenes, so in the meantime we wanted to share a special series with you called Speaking with Shadows.  

It sees Josie Long teaming up with English Heritage to uncover some of the most fascinating forgotten stories from England’s past. We hope you enjoy it.  

Clifford's Tower in York was the site of a tragedy in 1190 where the entire Jewish population of the city was persecuted to their deaths. We ask how and why such a shocking event could take place and hear how the local Jewish community reflect on it today.
