In 1913 a woman named Mary Phagan was raped and murdered at the National Pencil Company in Georgia where she had worked. Leo Frank knew her and managed this company. After an investigation, Leo Frank was fingered as the culprit behind the murder. He was found guilty in a court case and that was that.
Turns out the trial and investigation were both flawed. Imagine that? So Frank's sentence was commuted. This resulted in public outrage thanks in large part to media sensationalism. Frank was kidnapped and lynched by a mob in 1915.
Keep in mind this was 1910s Jim Crow America. How many black men were wrongly convicted based on race? Leo Frank was convicted for a few reasons. He was Jewish and he was a Northerner. That alone made him a suspect.
Historians and researchers agree and have agreed since the 1950s, that Frank is innocent. You could write a book on the investigation and trial issues but I won’t do that here. Simply put we’d be here all day and you can all read about it yourselves if you care.
Ok so why does everybody cry about this case? Well, it’s antisemitism.
Every Holocaust denier and I mean EVERY Holocaust denier also DEEPLY cares about this one case. Why?
There have been millions of murders, most of them unsolved. There have also been countless lynchings, witch burnings, and all sorts of other evil. Why do deniers ONLY care about this one isolated event from 1910s America?
Well because Holocaust deniers hate Jews, that’s why.
Nazis and deniers want to perpetuate the myth that Jews are degenerates, evil, and sick and that they deserve to be killed and lynched.
The case of Leo Frank is a sad one. An American court wrongly convicted him and when he was released he was lynched. People thus point to this as an example of antisemitism in Jim Crow America. Maybe Leo Frank committed the murder, maybe he didn’t. Regardless he was eventually acquitted and commuted and the response was to lynch him. This is wrong by any standard.
People who hate Jews won't accept there is antisemitism nor do they care. They want to make Jews look evil. So they dedicate themselves to proving that Leo Frank was guilty and deserved to be lynched.
When someone wants to debate “Leo Frank” this is why. They want to make Jews look evil and justify violence against Jews. There are academics out there who research this and trust me, you can tell these people apart from the Nazis.
