I was in York last week where in 1190 a mob trapped all the city's Jews in a tower and set fire to it. Most took their own lives but survivors were killed.
Excuse the tangent, but there were no English between the arrival of the Romans and the arrival of the Angles and Saxons (in small boats across the channel) because the latter immigration marks the start of English history.
Back in the heady days of 2011 I had a housemate who was really nice and didn't know a lot about World War II. She said "why did Hitler pick Jews? It's so weird, like, hi, I have a new kind of hate!" and I went "right, so, got something to tell you about that".
