The Leo Frank case is little known to the average American, though its political and practical effects are felt daily. The Frank incident is microcosmic in that the events surrounding and following the trial typify a negative pattern of Jewish enculturation on European soil and the reasonable but castigated reactions by the settlers. It is hoped that greater familiarity with this seemingly diminutive part of American history will do more but not less than illumine the ignorant and the goad the inert.
