Was Jack The Ripper Jewish

Answer 1

In 1888 London, there was much name-calling and finger pointing, most of it toward the Jewish community in the Whitechapel district. But reguardless of personal prejudices toward Jews, there is absolutely no evidence that Jack The Ripper was Jewish. Several of what some consider 'serious' suspects were Jewish. Aaron Kosminski and Michael Ostrog have been named repeatedly as suspects in the 120 years since the Ripper's crimes began. 'Leather Apron', or John Pizer as he was known in his everyday life, became a 'scapegoat' for the hysterical masses and was almost lynched by anti-semetic citizens. The important thing to remember in a cold case such as this, stick to the facts, reject all undocumented information, and the Ripper suspect list will be amazingly short.
