Rabbi Yaakov Baal Haturim (The Tur) was the thirs on of Rosh, born in Cologne, around 1275.
After suffering the Rindfleisch persecutions, he refugiated in Spain.
In 1329, he wrote regarding Germany:
"It is forbidden for a person to even traverse a place of mortal danger, let alone to live in the land of blood...Anyone who succeeds in bringin a person out from there (Germany) is considered as having saved a Jewish soul".
