56. No, Ashkenazi Jews are not Khazars (Jewish History Lab)

A brief discussion of the origins of the Ashkenazi Jews, an ethnicity that links back to medieval Germany.
Note: this particular topic attracts an unusual amount of inappropriate commentary. Scholarly, collegial discussion is welcomed here; but I intend to remove hateful remarks, and commentators who flagrantly disrespect others will be blocked from the channel. If this becomes too onerous a task I will simply turn off comments on the video. Please respect the learning community who gather here to discuss Jewish history.
