I thought it was interesting too. It wasn't until I visited the National History Museum of Germany in Berlin three years ago, that I started to wonder seriously about the connection. I saw posters with Jews drawn as vampires. Pamphlets describing my people as "vampiric". I had made a connection much earlier given some of the anti-Semitic stereotypes I am familiar with, but wasn't sure if this on purpose, a coincidence, or something else altogether. Many cultures have vampire-like beings in their myths. So, this may be more of a chicken and the egg situation; hard to tell what came first.
