15th century Austrian Jewish pogrom

The Vienna Gesera was a major anti-Jewish persecution of Jews in Austria between 1420 and 1421, ordered by Duke Albert V. This event is considered one of the largest Jewish pogroms in medieval Central Europe. The persecution led to the effective cessation of the Viennese Jewish community, with its members facing forced conversion, expulsion, imprisonment, and ultimately, the execution of over 200 Jews.
