Original Note:
The case of Simon of Trent is recognized as anti-Semitic blood libel. Confessions by members of the Trent Jewish community to killing him were coerced w/ torture. Many were later killed/expelled. https://www.getty.edu/news/childs-portrait-sheds-light-on-a-violent-episode-in-renaissance-history/ Pope Paul VI in 1965 reversed Catholic doctrine blaming Jews for Simon's death. https://www.jta.org/archive/vatican-annuls-ritual-murder-charge-declares-jews-innocent
