NEO-NAZIS RALLY OUTSIDE BROADWAY PREVIEW OF ‘PARADE,’ ABOUT AN ANTISEMITIC MURDER
By PHILISSA CRAMER
Protestors outside the first preview performance of Parade tonight greeted audience members with chants such as “[Leo Frank is] a Jewish Pedophile.” One protestor can be heard shouting “Learn the truth about what you’re going to see tonight. You’re paying $300 to go fuc*ing worship a pedophile, you might as well know what you’re talking about.” Another protestor can be heard saying, “Romanticizing pedophiles, Wow!” It is now widely accepted that Leo Frank was innocent and his conviction was a result of growing antisemitism in the American South at the time.
