<p>The chilling discovery of a medieval well in Norwich, filled with the remains of 17 Jewish adults and children, opened a window into the lived reality of historical antisemitism. What do these findings tell us about the forces that shaped Jewish life and loss in medieval England?</p><p>Dr. Eleanor Janega and Matt Lewis continue their exploration of Norwich, uncovering the rich, and often heartbreaking, story of the city’s once-thriving Jewish community. Dr. Oren Margolis joins Eleanor to trace the journey from the arrival of Jews after the Norman Conquest through centuries of resilience, discrimination, and ultimately expulsion in 1290.</p><br><p><strong>More:</strong></p><p><strong>Antisemitism in Medieval Europe</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/antisemitism-in-medieval-europe/id1564113746?i=1000664575746" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/3a0cUBgcaEi0bVcOQMHeH2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a></p><br><p><strong>Julian of Norwich</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/julian-of-norwich-englands-first-woman-writer/id1564113746?i=1000614545675" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/4D4iJhcQJzzANiIoyOI7Qr" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a></p><br><p>Gone Medieval is presented by Dr. Eleanor Janega and Matt Lewis.
