A young girl had been found murdered in Poland around the beginning of last century.

The Jewish community was worried, because it feared a pogrom, as Jews were often blamed for such horrid events.

The Rabbi called a meeting in the synagogue and community gathered. "I have good news, everyone!", the Rabbi intoned. "The murdered girl was Jewish!"
