"Beilis Trial Album" – Lodz, 1913
Album, der Beilis protses [Beilis trial album]. [Lodz], 1913. Yiddish and Russian. Small album, documenting through photos the life of Mendel Beilis and in particular the trial against him and the people involved. Each photo is annotated in Yiddish and in Russian.
Menachem Mendel Beilis was accused of murdering in April 1911 an Ukrainian Christian boy by the name of Andrei Yushichinsky to use his blood to prepare Matzahs for Passover. Beilis was arrested on the basis of a false testimony and his trial commenced in September 1913. On the background of the "ritual murder" and the trial, a vicious campaign was launched against the Jews. After three years in prison, on November 10 1913, Beilis was acquitted. In 1917, following the Revolution, an investigation committee was appointed and its findings revealed that the authorities were well aware of the true circumstances and facts and staged the trial for anti-Semitic reasons. The album presented here was printed when Beilis was acquitted. [13] leaves, 9X16.5 cm. Good condition, Damages to binding and minor stains. Binding somewhat loose.
From the collection of Arnie Druck.
