Thread:
Account of the Mendel Beilis trial. Easy to read; hard to swallow; impossible to digest.
Reminiscent of Kafka’s ‘The Trial’ in its menace, tortures, injustice and an infernal tangle of uncertainty. Had Mendel taken the chance to evade the trial: an inevitable pogrom. Image Imagine. There you are quietly getting on with your mundane job at a brick factory to support your family. Suddenly you are accused of the ritualistic murder of a child for his blood to use in a religious rite.
The problem is that you are Jewish.
The child is Christian.
