On July 4, 1941, Latvian rioters burned down the Great Synagogue with 400 to 500 Jews inside. By July 16, more than 2,400 Jews had been murdered. The Germans established a ghetto in Riga in August 1941. When it was sealed in October, it contained around 30,000 Jews from Riga and the surrounding area. In November and early December 1941, in a series of actions known as the Rumbula massacre, most of the ghetto inhabitants were taken to the nearby woods, shot, and buried in large pits that had been prepared. Around 5,000—mostly young men and women healthy enough to work—were spared and confined to a separate part of the ghetto known as the “Latvian ghetto.” From November 1941 until mid-1942, more than 22,000 German, Austrian and Czech Jews were brought to Riga and housed in what was known as the “German ghetto.” Jews in Riga’s Latvian and German ghettos were used for forced labor. The liquidation of the Riga ghetto occurred incrementally in the fall of 1943. Those who were deemed fit for work were gradually transferred to the Kaiserwald concentration camp and its sub-camps.

This enraged a group of men who styled themselves the “Knights of Mary Phagan.” They drove to the prison, kidnapped Frank from his cell and drove him to Marietta, Georgia where they lynched him.

As a result of Rice’s fame, “Jim Crow” became a pejorative expression meaning “Negro” by 1838 and the later segregation laws became known as “Jim Crow” laws. Jim Crow laws mandated racial segregation in all public facilities in the southern states of the former Confederacy, with a supposedly “separate but equal” status for Black Americans, although in reality this was not so. Some examples of Jim Crow laws are the segregation of public schools, places, and public transportation and the segregation of restrooms, restaurants and drinking fountains for whites and Blacks. Private businesses, political parties, and unions created their own Jim Crow arrangements, barring Blacks from buying homes in certain neighborhoods, from shopping or working in certain stores, from working at certain trades, etc. In the middle twentieth century, the Supreme Court began to overturn Jim Crow laws on constitutional grounds. Rosa Parks defied the Jim Crow laws when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man, which became a catalyst to the Civil Rights movement. Her actions, and the demonstrations that followed, led to a series of legislative and court decisions that contributed to undermining the Jim Crow system.
