A children’s book told how two young boys secretly peered in the window of the town’s Jewish slaughterhouse and saw a bloody scene of animal misery. They leave, shaken and convinced that all they have heard about the Jews is true. A 1939 issue had a full page of photographs from the Vienna fish market, claiming that Jews showed up there to watch live fish being killed for the customers, and another photograph, captioned “Joy in Murder,” allegedly depicted two grinning Jews watching an animal being slaughtered. Such an argument is unlikely to convince the skeptic, but its vivid nature certainly left an impression on less critical readers.

The second strategy was to present repeatedly every case of alleged ritual murder in the anti-Semitic canon. These were generally of extraordinarily dubious ancestry, most lacking any foundation at all outside the imaginations of anti-Semites. Nonetheless they sounded ghastly. A favorite Stürmer example was the murder of Simon of Trent in 1475:

It was at this time that the Jew Tobias approached the child, who was not quite 30 months old, and while speaking kindly, picked him up and carried him at once to the house of the Jew Samuel. When night fell, the brothers Saligman and Samuel, with Tobias, Vitalis (Veitel), Moses, Israel and Mayr, undressed the little boy and mercilessly butchered him. While Moses strangled him with a handkerchief as he lay across Samuel’s knee, pieces of his flesh from his neck were cut with a knife and the blood collected in a bowl. At the same time, they punctured the naked offering with needles and murmured Hebrew curses. Then they cut pieces of flesh from the boy’s arms and legs and collected the blood in pots. Finally, the torturers imitated the crucifixion by holding the twitching body upside down and the arms outstretched, and during this horrible act they spoke the following: “Take this, crucified Jesus. Just as our fathers once did, so may all Christians by land and sea perish.” Then they rushed to their meal. When the child had died they threw his body into the river which flowed by their house. After this, they joyously celebrated the Passover.13
