I am not a scholar of this topic but have read a few detailed essays on it. Far as I know, at the time, it was widely believed among Jews in Atlanta that Frank was guilty of murdering Mary Phagan, a thirteen-year-old employee. Somewhat weirdly, the ADL was founded in reaction to Frank’s murder conviction, which they claimed was antisemitic. Now, Greenblatt has to bring it all up again 108 years later. Whatever, today ADL seems bent on censoring as much American speech as it can get its hands on. In my view, ADL is not a good look for the American Jewish community, which is very powerful on its own and does not need the constant heckling of others served up far too often by the ADL. Nor the stirring up of very questionable old embers from 1913. ABN
