Dear Tom,
There is of course lots written on hosts and host desecrations. I
haven't heard of the particular instance you mention, however, I
would recommend the following overview articles (the ones by Browe
or Sr. Despina might even touch on the case you mention, but I'm not
sure. Browe provides a long list).

portees contre les Juifs, in: Rencontre. Chretiens et Juifs 5,
22 (1971), S. 150-173; 5, 23 (1971), 179-196.
