Edward Berenson: The Accusation
Clip: Season 2019 Episode 49 | 20m 55sVideo has Closed Captions
Casey Seiler talks to author Ed Berenson about an anti-Semitic incident in the 1920s.
When a 4-year old girl went missing from a small North Country town in 1928, rumors that she’d been kidnapped by Jews as part of an alleged “blood libel” ritual spread soon after and thrust the small community into the national spotlight. Casey Seiler recently spoke to author Edward Berenson, who wrote a book about the incident, and its impact on the state then—and now.
