The Butcher's Tale:Murder and Anti-Semitism in a German Town
The Butcher's TaleMurder and AntiSemitism in a German Town
Author: Helmut Walser Smith
In 1900, in a small Prussian town, a young boy was found murdered, his body brutally dismembered, the blood drained from his limbs. Local Christians quickly accused their Jewish neighbors of ritual murder - the infamous blood-libel charge that has haunted Jews for centuries - and rose up in a maelstrom of anti-Semite riots and demonstrations.
