judaism

January 9, 1349: The Black Death was sweeping Europe. The good townsfolk of Basel came up with their very own Final Solution to the problem. They rounded up the Jewish citizens of their fair city and incinerated them. However, it didn't stop the plague, and six hundred years later an animated chappy from nearby Austria bunged on a similar act of ethnic cleansing, though not, this time, in the name of preventitive medicine.

This was just one of the many atrocities performed against the Jewish population in 1349 as a deluded means of eliminating bubonic plague.
