A great book I can recommend is "Investigation into the killing of Christian babies by Jews and the use of their blood" by Vladimir Ivanovich Dal. In the link below, you can find a translation of the book: https://t.co/ISZerSagHM pic.twitter.com/bwPPIMibEo

Another very informative book is "Passovers of Blood" by Jewish historian Ariel Toaff. The book caused a major backlash, and MKs demanded that the state examine ways in which it could prosecute Professor Ariel Toaff.
