Document #2• The Bubonic Plague, also known as Black Death, was a highly contagious
disease spread by fleas that lived on rats. Shortly after being bitten by a flea, people developed swellings and black bruises on their skin. Within a few days, victims often died in agony (pain). At the time, there was no cure for the plague, so many of those who became infected died. In the early 1300s, the plague appeared in Chinese cities. Rats common in the cities carried the disease. The growth of trade that had occurred since the 1100s had helped the plague to spread. Fleas from rats infested (to spread disease; infect) traders in the East, who then carried the plague into the Middle East, North Africa and Italy. By the mid-1300s, the plague had reached Spain and France. From then it spread across the rest of Europe.

• "In the matter of the Plague, the Jews throughout the world were hated and accused in all lands of having caused it through the poison which they are said to have put into the water and the wells. A number of Jews were tortured in Switzerland who then admitted that they had put poison into many wells. Therefore, they burnt the Jews in many towns and wrote to other towns, stating that they must also burn all of their Jews.”
