Anti - Semitism in the old South

 

Leonard Dinnerstein does an excellent job of relating the story of Leo Frank in a fair and unbiased manner. He also puts the entire affair in a historical context. This would be an excellent read for any student of racism in America and of the New South.

 "The Old Religion," was published. In the critic Alfred Kazin's estimation, the book "accuses the Gentile world of assisting in Frank's destruction."

Various movies

 "They Won't Forget,"

1937, Warner Brother a fictionalized version of the case, with Claude Rains and Lana Turner.

Just four months after Frank's lynching, Hal Reid, the father of the silent-movie star Wallace Reid, produced "Thou Shalt Not Kill," a film based loosely on the subject.

 

"The Murder of Mary Phagan,"

1988 miniseries starring Jack Lemmon as John Slaton, the Georgia governor whose commutation of Frank's death sentence was regarded in the North as an act of courage but in the South as one of betrayal.
