Matthew Bernstein Screening a Lynching: The Leo Frank Case on Film and Television
Jewish Community Center
Houston, TX
The case of Leo Frank, a Jewish factory supervisor in Atlanta convicted for the murder of a young woman in 1913 and later lynched by an angry mob, was one of the most sensational trials of the early 20th century. Emory University Professor, Chair and Director of Graduate Studies, Matthew Bernstein explores depictions of the case on the large and small screens, examining how the media dealt with the complex issues of racism, anti-semitism, and class in America.
