Leo Frank

Leo Frank was an American Jewish man who was convicted of murder in Georgia in 1913 after the death of a young girl named Mary Phagan. His trial was controversial due to anti-Semitic attitudes, and his conviction was eventually overturned, but he was re-tried and sentenced to death. In 1915, a mob lynched him, highlighting prejudiced sentiments and leading to national debates on justice and bigotry. Frank's case became a symbol of racial and religious intolerance in the U.S., and his story has influenced discussions on anti-Semitism and the justice system.
