THE HISTORY OF BLOOD LIBEL: From the Middle Ages to Sarah Palin
Blood libels are pernicious false claims that Jews require human blood, taken from murdered children, for the making of matzoh. What is the origin of this myth and how did it lead to a counter-myth of the Golem? How did blood libels fuel modern pogroms and anti-Semitism? What is the Mendel Beilis case and the Massena affair? How does this myth persist today? Presented by Rabbi Peter Schweitzer.
