“Now Avenge Us: Jewish Martyrdom and the First Crusade"

Brief description: "In 1095 Pope Urban II initiated what in hindsight scholars sometimes call the Age of the Crusades, a centuries-long period of religious warfare. It is the first of these expeditions (1096-1099) that has received the most attention, but one aspect of it continues to evoke deeper and deeper research and analysis, namely the place of Jewish martyrdom in the tapestry of events and emotions in this extraordinary movement. The lecture brings together the fruits of this research and analysis."
