🔥 Jews Burned Alive in Posen for Host Desecration Allegation

A Christian woman is accused of stealing hosts and giving them to Jews for the purpose of desecration. Thirteen members of the Jewish community of Posen, along with the woman are all tortured and burned alive slowly. This story, however, does not appear until the latter half of the 14th century. The community is then forced to pay a special tax every year until the 18th century.⟶
