In 1144, the mutilated body of William of Norwich, a young apprentice leatherworker, was found abandoned outside the city's walls. The boy bore disturbing signs of torture, and a story soon spread that it was a ritual murder, performed by Jews in imitation of the Crucifixion as a mockery of Christianity. The outline of William's tale swiftly gained currency far beyond Norwich, and the idea that Jews engaged in ritual murder became firmly rooted in the European imagination. E. M. Rose's book delves into the story of William's murder and the notorious trial that followed to uncover the origin of the ritual murder accusation--known as the "blood libel"--in western Europe in the Middle Ages. Focusing on the specific historical context and suspensefully unraveling the facts of the case, Rose makes a powerful argument for why the Norwich Jews were accused of killing the youth, and how the malevolent blood libel accusation managed to take hold. She also considers four "copycat" cases, in which Jews were similarly blamed for the death of young Christians, and traces the adaptations of the story over time. In the centuries after its appearance, the ritual murder accusation provoked instances of torture, death and expulsion of thousands of Jews and the extermination of hundreds of communities. Although no charge of ritual murder has withstood historical scrutiny, the concept of the blood libel is so emotionally charged and deeply rooted in cultural memory that it endures even today. Rose's groundbreaking work provides clear answers as to why the blood libel emerged when it did and how it was able to gain such widespread acceptance, laying the foundations for enduring anti-Semitic myths that continue to the present.

Auschwitz, qui résume en un lieu et en un nom la criminalité du régime nazi, est aujourd'hui illisible: il est devenu une sorte d'écran où individus et collectivités projettent leurs cauchemars ou leurs rêves. Visites de représentants de l'Église, d'hommes d'État, d'individus sur les traces d'un proche: il semble que tous ces pèlerinages, ces discours, ces commémorations ont blasé nos contemporains et brouillé la réalité du camp d'Auschwitz-Birkenau, déconnecté de son histoire pour devenir un concept, un symbole ou le tremplin d'une conscience européenne. Rendre Auschwitz à l'Histoire c'est, loin de le ranger dans un tiroir, le rendre à sa réalité, reconstituer ce qu'il fut, ce que fut son évolution, mais aussi, par là même, comprendre les enjeux des polémiques qui naissent autour de sa mémoire. C'est encore donner un sens au camp-musée qu'il est devenu en interrogeant et en restituant précisément l'histoire des vestiges autour duquel il a été conçu: la découverte du camp par les soldats de l'Armée rouge, sa construction en fonction de la population à laquelle il a d'abord été destiné, celle de l'énorme complexe de destruction de Birkenau où un million de Juifs furent assassinés, la signification du numéro matricule tatoué, etc. Alors qu'abondent les études évoquant tel ou tel aspect de la Shoah, que les témoignages de survivants se multiplient, ce livre d'Annette Wieviorka est le premier ouvrage français retraçant l'histoire du complexe de camps d'Auschwitz.
