Description
Materials on Leo M. Frank, the superintendent of the National Pencil Company in Atlanta, who was convicted of the murder of factory worker Mary Phagan in 1913. Frank was lynched by a mob in Marietta in 1915 after Governor John M. Slaton commuted Frank's death sentence to life imprisonment. The Leo M. Frank materials span several archival collections in the Ida Pearl and Joseph Cuba Archive for Southern Jewish History at the William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum. They are collocated inside this single digital collection.
