The Maiden of Orleans Incident

This is an incident about rumors.

Starting from 1966, the rumor first appeared in Rouen, repeated in Le Mans in 1968, and reached its climax in 1969 in Orleans. On May 10, 1969, a girls' clothing store opened in this central French city. Its most unique part was a changing room decorated like a medieval dungeon. Soon, people began to spread rumors that some young women were missing from the clothing store. They were said to have been abducted from a fitting room. Others said that the police found two or three girls in the basement who had been injected with drugs and were ready to be transported out to the underground network that trafficked white women. There are even details added that they were transported to brothels in the East. And, as word spread, the clothing store had a new sign, "That's a Jewish clothing store." As a result, the prestigious clothing store run by the Liu family Jews suddenly became deserted, and people began to spread rumors, "Are the Jews plotting something?" This rumor spread all over the city, and by the end of May, it became a simple slogan, "Don't Go buy something from a Jew," and people began to take action: fathers and husbands rushed into the store asking for their daughter and wife to be rescued, anonymous phone calls came in, people began to watch in front of the store, and a small riot broke out. Fortunately, it was the weekend soon and the situation subsided. In early June, newspapers finally reacted. All newspapers and periodicals in Paris and local areas, bishops' groups and government agencies began to try to quell this "Orléans rumor". The police launched an investigation and people held rallies. , two weeks later, the rumor finally subsided.
