I like to think I'm less ignorant than your average European of Christian heritage about the middle ages and our (Christian, English) persecution of the Jews; but for a Very Long Time I had 'blood libel' tied in my head to 'Jews killed Jesus' which, lies, but different lies and mostly what I have read is more about arguments about money lending and deporting people as if none of that could ever have been violent. This was not a thing ever taught to me in school, although the Shoah was in excrutiating detail (for 14 year olds).
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
