Examples

“Patlaban viņš tirgojas ar avīzēm, bet agrāk strādāja Zaiceva rūpnīcā. Pēc viņa vārdiem, Beilis katru gadu brauca uz Zaiceva ārpilsētas muižu. Tur viņš cepa macu. Tā nebija parasta maca. Tās izgatavošanā lietoja kristiešu asinis.”

At present he trades in newspapers, but earlier he worked at Zaicev's factory. According to him, Beilis went every year to Zaicev's country estate outside the city. There he baked matzah. It was not ordinary matzah. In its preparation Christian blood was used.
