The Leo Frank Carse
Leo Frank was found guilty of murdering a young 13 year old at his pencil factory in Atlanta. He was subsequently lynched by a mob of supporters of Mary Phagan. What role did Frank's Judaism have in his conviction and lynching? Was he convicted because he was a Jew? In this lecture, we will examine the relevant documents to gain greater insight and understanding into this critical question.
