One of the most dramatic explorations of a German town in the grip of anti-Semitic passion ever written.

The Butcher's Tale Zusammenfassung

The Butcher's Tale: Murder and Anti-Semitism in a German Town Helmut Walser Smith (Vanderbilt University)

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.

Winner of the Fraenkel Award and a Los Angeles Times Best Book of 2002.

The Butcher's Tale Bewertungen

[A] pioneering study, at once tightly focused and broadly conceived...This is a lucid exemplar of social and cultural history at its best. -- Peter Gay
Smith brilliantly pursues the many clues in the case, tracing the transformation of lies, gossip, spurious facts, and the reporting of the anti-Semitic press into conviction. -- Barbara Fisher - Boston Globe
As absorbing as a mystery novel...stimulating, thoughtfully argued, informative and eye-opening. -- Merle Rubin - Los Angeles Times
Chilling...reads like a thrilling true-crime story. -- The Forward
This powerful volume will appeal to true-crime readers and anyone interested in the dynamics that can turn a peaceful community into a place of hatred and violence. -- Publishers Weekly
A disturbing and often downright frightening examination of how easily 'civilized' societies can succumb to their prejudices and cross over into hysterical barbarism. -- Jay Freeman - Booklist
