Damascus affair

1840 antisemitic accusation

The Damascus affair of 1840 refers to the disappearance, February of that year, of an Italian monk and his servant. A large number of Jews were summarily tortured until they "confessed" to murder. An instance of medieval antisemitism and a blood libel, news of the case spread, across the Middle East, to Europe, and the Western world.
