How Vampires Became Jewish

Summary/Abstract: The connection between anti-Semitic stereotype and the image of the vampire is examined taking into account the psychological and historical factors involved. The symbolic link between Jews and blood through a history of blood libel and the depiction of Jews as alien and parasitic are seen as the main themes that allowed the merging of the two images. The evolution of modern anti-Semitic stereotypes is also examined.
