It seems that throughout most of Jewish history, they have had to endure Anti-Semitism. And on this date in 1750, nothing could have been truer in the Prussian area of Praderborn. The edict that went out on this date required that every Jew in the area be subjected to a yearly search of his/her home for stolen our “doubtful” goods. In addition to this, all of their packages or boxes of goods had to be submitted for inspection. You can imagine how this edict was used against them. I am sure many “stolen” goods were taken.
