Title
Board Meeting, [33] August 1, 1977, Citizens' Comments: Janice Weinman
Abstract
Janice Weinman commends the Village Board of Trustees and proposes that they contact the Chicago City Counsel to see if they can join forces in shutting down the neo-Nazi headquarters. She goes on to speak about the experiences of Holocaust survivors and encourages the Board to encourage other communities to pass ordinances to prevent neo-Nazis from spreading hatred and destruction. She suggests specific efforts that could be made by individual community organizations, including the Art Council and the Library, to help to strengthen the community and combat the neo-Nazis. She says, "The motto, 'Village of Vision' is a constant challenge. This Board and the people of Skokie are facing a greater social challenge than we have seen before. With your leadership, we can mobilize our community in creative ways, acquiring knowledge of history and each other that would strengthen our social fabric so that the Nazis can never penetrate it."
