Cliffords Tower York
Stunning building with a terrible history
[link]
The Tower stands on the site of a horrific massacre of York's Jewish population in 1190. A large group had taken refuge from a violent mob in the then wooden tower. Rather than perish at the hands of the mob that awaited them outside, many of the Jews took their own lives, others died in the flames, and those who finally surrendered were murdered.
Today, Clifford's Tower stands as a potent reminder of religious and racial intolerance - an educative force in an unstable world.
