Allahdad Massacre
1839 pogrom in Iran
The Allahdad was an 1839 pogrom perpetrated by Muslims against the Iranian Jewish community in the city of Mashhad, Qajar Iran. It was characterized by the mass-killing and forced conversion of the Jews in the area to Islam. Following this event, the Jews who stayed in Mashad began to actively practice crypto-Judaism while superficially adhering to Islamic beliefs.
