Abraham Hirtzel Levy (died December 31, 1754) was an Alsatian Jew from Wettolsheim, who was falsely accused of theft, tortured, and executed in Colmar.
Alongside three other Jews, Levy faced accusations of having stolen property valued at 3,000 livres from the house of a widow named Madeline Koppinn.
[1][2] Despite all having alibis, Levy and his co-accused were subjected to the judicial practice known as the "ordinary and extraordinary question."
[1] Prominent Jewish figures of Alsace, convinced of his innocence, pursued an appeal to the Privy Council of Paris.
The Privy Council, on June 16, 1755, rendered a verdict that overturned the prior decision, declaring Levy innocent.
