Persecution of Jews in Switzerland

Roman Empire
Under Christian emperors, Jews were persecuted in the Roman Empire, which included forbidding Jews from marrying Christians, restricting Jews from holding public office, and Jews weren't allowed to own slaves.

Blood libels
Jews were murdered in Bern in 1294, Schaffhausen and Winterthur in 1401 after blood libels, which falsely accuses Jews of having killed Christian children for rituals.

Persecution of Jews during the Black Death
Jews were falsely blamed for the Black Death in Europe during the mid-1300s; Jews were often used by Christians to blame due to their resentment of them considering their belief that Jews are the killers of Christ. Thousands of Jews were murdered in France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, and Belgium.

In Basel, Jews were burnt at the stake and children were forcibly baptized, and other Jews were expelled. The Christian residents turned the synagogue into a church and destroyed the Jewish cemetery. Jews were murdered in many other locations in Switzerland, including Zürich and Bern.
