Hey! I learned a new "this day in history thing" this morning. Europe is always so interesting.

"On May 18, 1096, followers of #German Crusader leader Count Emicho of Leiningen arrived in Worms, beginning a massacre that would end days later with the murder of 800 #Jews.

The massacre in the Upper-Rhine city was part of a series of massacres the Crusaders carried out in #France and the #Rhineland during the First #Crusade."
