The persistence of an old anti-Semitic myth: The dark legacy and ongoing body count of an ancient anti-Semitic myth

theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2024/04/the-persistence-of-an-old-anti-semitic-myth/678184/

Quick Glance: The Legacy of an Ancient Anti-Semitic Myth

Mary Antin recounts the false accusations against Jews regarding the Passover festival in a 1911 article in The Atlantic.

The 'blood libel', rooted in medieval beliefs, continues to have deadly consequences, exemplified by the case of Russian Jew Menachem Mendel Beilis.

Contemporary dissemination of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jewish ritual murders persists, as evidenced by recent events.

Despite the historical backdrop, the Passover celebration remains a traditional festival unrelated to the false accusations.
