The reason for its formation served a pretty interesting case. In 1913, Leo Frank, a manufacturer in Atlanta, who was jewish, was prosecuted for rape followed by murder of 14-year-old Mary Phagan, which where working in his factory. As it usually happens, when a senior jew opposes Justice for the court verdict - capital punishment by hanging was followed by a powerful newspaper campaign - the influential jewish organizations have come to the aid of Frank. The result, again, not surprising, was the abolition of the sentence by governor of the state. However, the history was not over, there were decent people who did not tolerated such violation of law and justice. They pulled Leo Frank from prison and brought themselves the sentence. Jewish side reaction to the incident was to create an organization designed to protect the rights of the jewish people in less eye-catching ways as to not cause such an adverse public reaction. The organization was called the Anti-Defamation League. Obviously, its creators thought Leo Frank was the unfortunate victim, not the 14-year-old Mary Phagan murdered by him. Arrogance, indeed satanic.
