The Velizh Affair: Blood Libel in a Russian Town
Avrutin, Eugene M. (Associate Professor of History and Tobor Family Scholar in the Program in Jewish Culture and Society, Associate Professor of History and Tobor Family Scholar in the Program in Jewish Culture and Society, University of Illinois)
The Velizh case was the longest ritual murder investigation in the modern world. Drawing on newly discovered trial records, historian Eugene M. Avrutin looks beyond antisemitism as the single most important factor in understanding ritual murder accusations, and in the process, provides an intimate glimpse of small-town life in eastern Europe.
