The notorious anti-Semitic pamphlet, “Jewish Ritual Murders,” is now being widely distributed throughout the United States by “We, the Mothers Mobilize for America,” a super-nationalistic organization.
The pamphlet was written by Arnold Leese, an English fascist, who served nearly a year in jail for a similarly libelous article published in Britain. The booklet has a new American twist. It describes the murder of the Lindbergh baby as a “Jewish ritual” slaying, asserting that the child was kidnapped three weeks before Purim in 1932.
