A Russian teacher, Dunayevtzi, will be tried for teaching the ritual murder tale, at the instigation of the Orpu, the political police.
The teacher, a non-Jews, told his pupils that it was possible that Jews use blood for the Passover ritual. One pupil said in class that he had seen a Matzo factory which used blood.
“I have also heard of similar cases.” the teacher declared and recounted to his class the incidents of the Beilis trial, adding, “So far it is not known exactly whether the Jews used blood.”
The complaint against the teacher was lodged by the principal of the school.
