France
Strasbourg, the principal city of Alsace in northeastern France, had a medieval Jewish community that was destroyed in the massacre of February 1349 during the Black Death persecutions. Jewish life later returned to the region, and in the modern era Strasbourg became, with the rest of Alsace, an important center of French Jewry.
