Chaim-and-Maria or Bloodthirsty Lovers. Boston: M-Graphics, 2020
The novel, Chaim-and-Maria, is an attempt to remind the public that Adolf Hitler, along with his dedicated butchers, both Germans and non-Germans, did not come from nowhere. They were the fruits ripened on a certain branch of the tree of our great civilization. Their followers and sympathizers are living among us - just as their predecessors lived among our grandparents and great-grandparents.
The novel was written in the late 1970s, when author still lived in the Soviet Union, while the described events had taken place 150 years before that, in Czarist Russia, in the remote town of Velizh in Vitebsk Province. The Velizh Case is one of about 200 blood libel cases recorded in the history of our civilization. It attracted author's attention for two main reasons: it was one of the largest and most ridiculous blood libel investigations, and it was almost completely forgotten.
