ABSTRACT
Of all the charges leveled against Jews, blood libel, “the accusation that Jewish religion calls for the ritualistic consumption of the blood of a Christian,” is the most heinous. Born at about the time of the First Crusade in the middle of the twelfth century, this accusation has raised its ugly head periodically ever since, then up to the turn of this century. The Russia of 1911, a land of absolutism and reaction, was the last to sponsor this recurring slander.
