In 1475, the body of two-year-old Simon Unverdorben was found in Trento on Jewish property. The local bishop ruled that the entire Jewish community was guilty of his death. All were imprisoned, tortured and some were even executed by being burned at the stake or burned alive.
This picture depicts the so-called murderers of Simon, draining his blood.
