No. Unfortunately, though, it was a prevalent view in the Middle Ages that Jews caused the Black Plague through secret Jewish sorcery.


Of course, science has revealed that the Black Plague was spread by fleas living on rats and biting people. The Black Plague was also spread by coughing and when the pustules were touched (presumably to "heal" the person).
