UK ENGLAND LONDON 3MAR09 - Photos of the Treasures of the Black Death Exhibition in London. This exhibition brings to London for the first time two hoards of medieval gold and silver jewellery found at Colmar in the nineteenth century and at Erfurt in the 1990s. Both hoards were buried at the time of the Black Death in the middle of the fourteenth century, almost certainly by Jewish families who were expelled or murdered because the Jews were blamed for spreading the disease.
