What does the Holocaust have to do with the Crusades?

There is no direct link. During the First Crusade there were severe outbreaks of violence against Jews, especially in the Rhineland. It is sometimes said that this marked the start of an ongoing "Christian", or at least "churchy" tradition of violence against the Jews. A very small number of historians see the Holocaust as the culmination of a tradition that began in 1096. Nevertheless, the First Crusade saw the start of widespread mob violence as an integral part of the crusades ... After that, no crusade was complete without a massacre of Jews, and when Richard I was crowned as a Crusader King of England in 1189, mobs celebrated in London, York and elsewhere by massacring the Jews.
