Description

In 1840, a French Priest in Syria was alleged to have been murdered by Jews. Nine Jewish nobles were falsely convicted and set to be executed for the murder. A coalition of Jews in New York, led my Mordecaie Noah, urged the US to protest the execution. Jews around the world pressured their governments to protest the executions, and the prisoners were finally released. It was the first incidence of international Jewish solidarity and support to protest antisemitism.
