About the book: 2021 / A closed community of non-believers that lived for many centuries in fanatical Christian Europe. Greedy moneylenders and treacherous traitors - and sophisticated slander and bloody pogroms awaiting them outside the walls of the quarter. What kind of people do you think we are talking about now? Jews. As writers and filmmakers clearly show, for a thousand years only contempt, hatred and bloodshed awaited them. But is this really so and how much truth is there in this stereotype? Galina Zelenina will tell you a completely different story of medieval Jews and their sworn neighbors Christians - a story that scientists are reconstructing. And believe me, there is something to be surprised here. In this book we will talk: – about the politics of the church and the crown, the desire for legality and illegal persecution of Jews; – about everyday contacts between Christians and Jews in a medieval city; – about Judeo-Christian polemics, famous disputes and their consequences; - about violence, martyrdom and messianic expectations. The history of Christians and Jews contains many mysteries and myths that must be revealed and explored. Let's begin to lift the veil of this mystery together.
