| Opplysninger | Formerly CIP.. - Originally published: 2002.. - 1.. - One of the most dramatic explorations of a German town in the grip of anti-Semitic passion ever written.In 1900, in a small Prussian town, a young boy was found murdered, his body dismembered, the blood drained from his limbs. The Christians of the town quickly rose up in violent riots to accuse the Jews of ritual murder—the infamous blood-libel charge that has haunted Jews for centuries. In an absorbing narrative, Helmut Walser Smith reconstructs the murder and the ensuing storm of anti-Semitism that engulfed this otherwise peaceful town. Offering an instructive examination of hatred, bigotry, and mass hysteria, The Butcher's Tale is a modern parable that will be a classic for years to come.. - In 1900, the discovery of the dismembered body of an eighteen-year-old boy in a small Prussian town brought a charge of ritual-murder against the local Jewish community and sparked anti-Semetic riots. Smith examines the case and the history of the charge of ritual murder, also known as the blood libel.
