Part 2/4. By looking at the men accused of being Jack the Ripper, we uncover dark truths about Victorian society - and our own. Why were these men, most of them almost certainly innocent, singled out as monsters? Today Anthony Delaney tells Maddy Pelling about Aaron Kosminski, a Polish Jew living in Whitechapel who later became suspected of being Jack the Ripper. It's a story of immigration and antisemitism; of mental illness and of an effort to use DNA to link Kosminski to the crime. Written by Anthony Delaney. Edited by Tomos Delargy. Produced by Freddy Chick and Charlotte Long. After Dark: Myths, Misdeeds & the Paranormal is a History Hit podcast.
