Global InformationDeath of Lazarus Averbuch information
Lazarus “Jerome” Averbuch (1889–1908)[1] was a 19-year-old[2] Russian-born Jewish immigrant to Chicago who was shot and killed by Chicago Chief of Police George M. Shippy[3] on March 2, 1908.[4] The incident occurred during an era of public fear of foreign-born anarchists in the United States, following their involvement with the Haymarket affair in 1886.[5] The exact circumstances of the shooting remain contested, but Averbuch's death has inspired speculation, ideological arguments, and works of fiction.[6]
