Yet, Smith argues that Konitz should be seen as a case study of "process," of how different forces came together to make "latent anti-Semitism manifest," causing peaceful townspeople to turn on their neighbors. Drawing on a remarkably detailed documentary record, Smith analyzes social, class and other factors in the violence the role of the middle vs. working classes, Protestants vs. Catholics and in an original piece of analysis, shows how the townspeople's response was itself a form of ritual murder. ...PW; The (author) explores the murder of young Ernst Winter in the West Prussian town of Konitz on March 11, 1900.

"Gentile Tales: the Narrative Assault on Late Medieval Jews", by Miri Rubin, University of Pennsylvania Press, 280 pgs., 2004; ISBN: 978-0812218800; [Beginning in Paris in the year 1290, Jews were accused of abusing Christ by desecrating the eucharist -- the manifestation of Christ's body in the communion service. Over the next two centuries this tale of desecration spread throughout Europe and led to violent anti-Jewish activity in areas from Catalonia to Bohemia, particularly in some German-speaking regions, where at times it produced regionwide massacres and "cleansings." Drawing on sources ranging from religious tales and poems to Jews' confessions made under torture, Miri Rubin explores the frightening power of one of the most persistent anti-Jewish stories of the Middle Ages and the violence that it bred. She looks not just at the occasions on which massacres occurred but also at those times when the story failed to set off violence. She investigates as well the ways these tales were commemorated in rituals, altarpieces, and legends and were enshrined in local traditions. In exploring the character, nature, development, and eventual decay of this fantasy of host desecration, Rubin presents a vivid picture of the mental world of late medieval Europe and of the culture of anti-Judaism. {From the Publisher:} Miri Rubin is Professor of History at Queen Mary, University of London. -- AM]

In tracing the fortunes of the ritual murder charge against Jews in 15th- and 16th-century Germany, it reveals not only fresh insights about the dynamics of the ritual murder charge, but also the social strains and cultural workings of pre-Reformation Germany. Hsia argues persuasively that the ritual murder charge expressed the deepest fears of a population that took the power of both Jewish magic and Christian blood for granted. In so doing, the ritual murder proceedings assumed a salvic role in a Christian redemptive drama. LJ -- AM]

"The Cult Around the Corner: a Handbook on Dealing With Other People's Religions", by Nancy O'Meara, Foundation for Religious Freedom, 104 pgs., 2003; ISBN: 978-1928575108; [ (from the author) This is the most recent book published about "cults" - and is a book for the new millennium. It is about how to understand other people's religious choices and learning to live in a pluralistic society. Coming from a family that includes a sister who is atheist, a brother who is a Methodist minister and another sister married to a Catholic and raising four daughters, I have had first hand experience coping with deep seated belief differences. The Cult Around the Corner is the perfect book for the challenges people are dealing with today on a personal and professional level coping with a shrinking world of every greater religious diversity. -- AM]
"The Damascus Affair: 'Ritual Murder', Politics, and the Jews in 1840", by Jonathan Franklel, Cambridge University Press, 509 pgs., 1997; ISBN: 978-0521483964; [(from the cover) In February of 1840, an Italian monk and his servant disappeared in Damascus. Many Jews in that city were charged with ritual murder and tortured until they confessed. The case turned into a cause celebre across much of the Western world and produced an explosion of polemics, fantastic theories, and strange projects. This book, the first since 1840, assesses the affair as a factor in European and Jewish politics of the time, a chapter in Jewish history and historiography, and the stuff of radically conflicting myths that eventually led to the Holocaust and the establishment of the Israeli state. -- AM]
"Witch-Children: From Salem Witch-Hunts to Modern Courtrooms", by Hans Sebald, Prometheus Books, 258 pgs., 1995; ISBN: 978-0879759650. [Sebald's analysis is more than just an attack on atrocities committed in the name of Christianity (and equally common in non-Christian religions, although his history does not extend that far). A retired professor of sociology at Arizona State, Sebald ... points out that in the demonological system, children become persecutors as well as persecuted. We see it in the hysteria about child sexual abuse, which has resulted in such horrors as the McMartin preschool case. ... Once interpreted as influenced by Satan, "today the scientifically-minded would interpret the same behavior within a social-psychological framework." -- AM]
