Minna of Worms (died in May 1096) was a Jewish businesswoman and martyr. [1] She was an influential Jew, being a significant moneylender with clients and friends among the Christian nobility. Minna belonged to some of the most famous victims of the Worms massacre (1096). Occurring during the First Crusade, she was murdered for refusing conversion to Christianity after having been given the offer.[2]
