2 unusual facts about Rintfleisch massacres


Rintfleisch massacres

The Nürnberger Memorbuch contains the names of thousands of murdered Jews in numerous cities, among them Mordechai ben Hillel, a pupil of Jehiel ben Asher, with his wife and children.

The Austrian Chronicle of 95 Seigneurs about 100 years later alleged that King Albert I finally had Rintfleisch arrested and hanged.
