Book Synopsis The Butcher's Tale: Murder and Anti-Semitism in a German Town by : Helmut Walser Smith
Book excerpt: In 1900, in a small country town of the German Empire, a German boy is found murdered in a crime which resembles traditional blood libel accusation against the Jews. When the Jewish butcher is accused, the town explodes in an anti-Semitic fervour. Professor Smith pieces the story together.
