Site acted as both haven and prison for medieval community members.
This is totally fascinating to me. I've been to the Tower of London several times. It's fascinating on its own. I really love history so that's not unusual for me. However, it never occurred to me that there would be a specifically Jewish history of the Tower. That shouldn't be a surprise. The Jewish people have been in Europe for millennia, and a lot of that history is tragic, unfortunately, this is not an exception.
