Region: Suisse (Canton de Berne)
Intersection register · custodian, not owner
The federal capital of Switzerland, Berne was home to a medieval Jewish community documented as early as the thirteenth century. The community was decimated during the persecutions of 1349 (Black Death); Jews were definitively expelled from the canton in 1427 and could not return until after the emancipation of the nineteenth century.
Great Book being written
This Great Book does not yet have published chapters. The chapters — each bearing its register, its epistemic status and its sources — will be added as editorial enrichment and assisted generation progress.
The days of this book
This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Berne give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.
You know a date — a remembrance, a hilloula, the anniversary of a departure? Give it its day
