After the Munich Agreement, on the eve of November 1938 violences in Germany, the looting of the Lerner stores and Mathis’s expulsion raise several interpretive questions: Was it an antisemitic attack? A xenophobic riot? An anti-Jewish pogrom? We explore all these possibilities in the conclusion :)

Drawing on archives from the prefecture, national security, and the LICA (international ligue against antisemitism), we reconstruct the sequence of violence, the difficult process through which it became a “public affair,” and how news of the incident spread all the way to Nazi Germany.

Surprisingly, Mathis Lerner himself — along with part of his in-laws — was subjected to expulsion from the French authorities. His fault? Lerner was allegedly arrogant, perhaps too “anti-French” in the face of his attackers...

Drawing on a micro-sociological approach, we focus in this paper on the “Lerner Affair,” a little-known episode from the 1930s involving the ransacking of two novelty stores in Dijon's city center.

Maybe my most striking specific finding is that within the elite+upper class, queer people’s wills were disputed WAY more often than straight people’s. The numbers are tiny and wonky here, but like, roughly 70 times more often?? An agenda-setting surprise for me!

I looked at the citation counts for court cases and found that upper class disputes have shaped case law wayyy more than other disputes - yet another way our legal system gets continually distorted by the concerns of the rich and powerful.
