2022-04-19 21:12:05 1506: Massacre of 'new Christians' and subsequent mass executions of Portuguese men ordered by the King.
This event began with a culmination of several unfortunate circumstances, not the least of which was tens of thousands of jews pouring into Portugal after having been expelled from Queen Isabella's territory in modern day Spain 14 years earlier.
Many Portuguese men were executed after 'new Christians' told the King's authorities that they had been involved in the riots.

2022-04-19 19:55:57 1283: On the second day of Easter which coincided with the day of Passover, a group of Christian men visited revenge upon the jews responsible, of Mainz (Germany), killing ten and pillaging their houses. They were responding to the discovery of the body of a Christian child Archbishop Werner tried to stop them. His intervention kept the jews from suffering even more. The Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolph, conducted an investigation into the affair, confirmed the judgment they had passed on the jews and acquitted the citizens of Mainz of all blame.

2022-04-18 19:14:04 1914: Nyt runs article about passing away of Hermann Ahlwardt.
In the German Reichstag, he described Jews as "predators" and "cholera bacilli" that should be exterminated. The popularity of Ahlwardt and other "antisemites", in conservative rural electorates prompted the German Conservative Party to add an antisemitic plank to their 1892 Tivoli Congress platform.
In 1895, Ahlwardt was expelled from the German Social Reform Party and, with Otto Böckel, founded the Antisemitic People's Party, following in Adolf Stoecker's footsteps, who had founded the first antijew party in Germany in the 1880s.
Ahlwardt toured America giving speeches between 1895-1897. Picture is from Teddy Roosevelt's Autobiography about his stop in NY. Open / Comment
