A JPS bestseller; this is the definitive work of scholarship on the medieval conception of the Jew as devil—literally and figuratively. Through documents; analysis; and illustrations; the book exposes the full spectrum of the Jew’s demonization as devil; sorcerer; and ritual murderer. The author reveals how these myths; many with origins traced to Christian Europe in the late Middle Ages; still exist in transmuted form in the modern era.

Good product; exposing an historical relationsipBy eileenThis is a research paper as a book. Well documented. So it is an excellent account of how the U.S. has related to Mexican workers--legal and illegal--over time. It is revealing and so the content is sobering.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This book tells it as it was and is now ...By Richard R. VelazquezThis book tells it as it was and is now. This happened prior to the concentrations of the Japanese Americans. At least the Japanese were allowed to stay in the USA. This book proves that there are no Illegal Mexicans in the USA.
