The term “Blood Libel” refers to an old folk legend which was prominent in Medieval Europe and Russia. The myth suggested that members of the Jewish faith were responsible for conducting ritual murders of Christian and other non-Jewish persons, especially children, in order to use their blood for Jewish rituals, holidays, the baking of “Matzah” bread, or for their own sustenance.
