Cliffords Tower

The preserved Clifford's Tower was the moated castle keep of York Castle. The Tower was the site of a massacre in 1190, when the small Jewish community of York sought protection from an angry mob on the day of the Passover. Many Jews took their own lives before the enemy invaded. The event is considered as the most notorious example of anti-Semitism in medieval England.
