(Jewish Group) Leo Frank's ghost still haunts us

The word is “shushky.”

It means to shush something — to not speak about something, to silence a conversation. It is a uniquely Southern Jewish Yiddishism.

Let me tell you about the first time that I heard that word.

I was with a group of Jews in Atlanta, Georgia. The conversation turned to the topic of Leo Frank. I suggested that it might be a “nice idea” to have a monument for him, somewhere in Atlanta.

Well, it haunts (or should) the Jews, as for it "haunting" anyone else...naaaaah!
