Talk:Hep-Hep riots

message: The statement "Many Jews were killed" in this article is not correct. I am currently very busy revising the German-language Wikipedia article  and have already published my own article on the Hep-Hep riots: “The Hep-Hep riots belong in history lessons” . The excesses of violence in 1819 in about 90 places inside and outside the German Confederation were extreme, but no Jews were killed. In Würzburg there were two dead on August 3rd and 4th, 1819: A soldier shot an attacker, the next day a craftsman shot a soldier. This can be read in the German-language Wikipedia article. I also made an extensive list of the locations of the Hep-Hep riots there. .
Eleonore Sterling explained already in 1969: "In the midst of this noise and furious spectacle after the murder of the Jew in effigy, after the destruction of his property and desecration of his holy places, the rampaging mob but suddenly stop: the living people are not touched by anyone. – At that time the Jews still escaped with their lives”. [Sterling, Eleonore: Judenhass. Die Anfänge des politischen Antisemitismus in Deutschland (1815–1850). überarbeitete und erweiterte Ausgabe, Frankfurt am Main 1969, p. 163]
Therefore, in my opinion, it would make sense to change the sentence "Many Jews were killed": "Many Jews beaten and injured". CPallaske (talk) 10:20, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

message: There is a "missing link" on this page - i.e. an explanation of "why" the riots began. The below quote from  here seems to help.
::While Rhenish Bavaria enjoyed the liberty dating from the French occupation, in the other parts of the country the edict of 1813 remained in force. In 1819, when the first Bavarian Diet assembled, the larger congregations sent prominent men to Munich, under the leadership of Samson Wolff Rosenfeld, rabbi in Uehlfeld and Bamberg, author of many pamphlets on "Emancipation," to work for the complete enfranchisement of the Jews; and their efforts were not altogether unsuccessful. The delegates themselves expressed the desire for a revision of the laws governing the Jews, and the Diet promised compliance with their request. Unfortunately, however, the succeeding Diet allowed itself to be influenced by the "Hephep" cries of Würzburg, which spread over all Franconia and beyond the frontiers of Bavaria; and it declared, May 13, 1822, that the time for the emancipation of the Jews had not yet arrived. Statistics of the day show that of 53,402 Jewish souls, there were 252 families supporting themselves by agriculture, 169 artisans, and 839 factory hands.
The connect is explained more clearly in Levy, Richard (2005). Antisemitism: A Historical Encyclopedia Of Prejudice And Persecution, Volume 1. pp. 298. (see link in article). Oncenawhile (talk) 20:24, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Another question which has come up - some sources such as Amos Elon's quote in the article and the diaries of Bernhard Cahn (the authors of a book on his famous diaries note that he did not mention the riots / pogrom ) suggest that not all sections of German Jewish society were impacted by the events. Does anyone have a source which explains this? Oncenawhile (talk) 09:07, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
