LOC-SH: Blood accusation -- Europe -- History -- 19th century ; Trials (Murder) -- Europe -- History -- 19th century ; Science and law -- Europe -- History -- 19th century ; Jews -- Europe -- Social conditions -- 19th century ; Europe -- Ethnic relations -- History -- 19th century

Although the Enlightenment had seemed to bring an end to the belief that Jews murdered Christian children for ritual purposes, charges of the so-called blood libel continued on either side of the turn to the twentieth century. Hillel J. Kieval examines four cases to consider how discredited beliefs became plausible to educated European elites.
