Child's notes on this song are well worth reading. He traces the story (Jew and all) all over Europe. It is connected to the so-called blood libel, a folk belief that the Jews needed a Christian child's blood to make Passover matzoh. Child does not let scholarly objectivity interfere with expressing his judgment of this vileness. |
