Antisemitism in a City Without Jews: Crime, Print and a Used-Clothes Dealer in Early Modern Paris By <\/span><\/span><\/a>Melish, Jacob for inspiration, DO NOT COPY THE STORY ENTIRELY. YOU MAY ALSO USE OUTSIDE SOURCES. Discuss VEIWS ON JEWS IN EARLY MODERN PARIS, DESPITE THERE BEING A VERY SMALL JEWISH POPULATION. AKNOWLAGE THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL PROFESSIONS THAT WERE ASSOCIATED WITH JUDAISM, INCLUDING USED GOODS DEALERS. BE SURE TO HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT LOUIS AND ROSE ARE ACTUALLY CATHOLIC, BUT ARE DICRIMMINATED AGAINST DUE TO THEIR LYFESTYLE AND PROFESSION. <\/span>Rose and Louis are to be close to the couple described by Melish, and then you could talk about the ways that they attempted to protect themselves by integrating more into their communities, their parish church, and\/or the larger used-clothes guild. You could then make your primary source related to some of these actions.<\/h3>\n
