Summary/Abstract: The book under discussion is not – as its title might suggest – yet another attempt at tackling with groundless accusations of Jews allegedly murdering Christian children for ritual purposes. Mr. Tych states that what Jan-Tomasz Gross was doing applying a shock therapy is now exhibited by Joanna Tokarska-Bakir through a finessed analysis of historic sources – both those found and those produced by way of interviewing witnesses to the events.
