CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 6O645
(312) 973-2522
June 28, 1977
Hon. Albert Smith
Mayor of the Village of Skokie
Village Hall
Skokie, Illinois
Dear Mayor Smith:
At the June 20, 1977 meeting of the Council of Traditional/
Orthodox Synagogues of Greater Chicago, a motion was unanimously passed that the Council should write to you and implore you to continue your efforts and do everything in your
power to prevent the proposed march of the Nazis in Skokie on
July 4, 1977 or at any time thereafter.
The Council alsopassed a motion urging all of its members to
participate in a peaceful counter-activity in the event that
the march takes place. The idea that to ignore the Nazis and
they will go away cannot be accepted and the survivors of the
concentration camps cannot buy that argument and they deserve
the support of every decent human being.
Your efforts in this matter are greatly appreciated and we
certainly hope that this dreadful event never takes place.
Yours very truly,
ALAN I. LAPPING^
Secretary
AILrJG

Dear Mr. Lapping:
!
Your recent letter regarding the possible march
of the Nazis in the Village of Skokie has been
received.
Rest assured we do appreciate your support and
that we will continue to do everything humanly
and legally possible to keep these people out
of our community.
Sincerely,
Albert J. Smith
me

Description
An account of the resource
<p>During the late 1970s, a small group of neo-Nazis based in Chicago attempted to hold a rally in the Village of Skokie, Illinois, a community that was known to have a large Jewish population. Local officials resisted the group’s efforts through by passing a series of ordinances aimed at preventing demonstrations or parades by hate groups. The ordinances were ultimately overturned following a series of state and federal lawsuits because they infringed on the group’s First Amendment rights and the neo-Nazis were issued a permit to demonstrate in Skokie. However, instead of facing the growing number of organized counter-demonstrators, the group held rallies in Federal Plaza and in Marquette Park in Chicago. <br /><br />Visit <a title="Attempted Nazi March in Skokie" href="https://skokiehistory.omeka.net/exhibits/show/attempted-nazi-march/timeline">Skokie Public Library's online exhibit</a> to see the events as they unfolded. The library's digital collection, seen here, includes newspaper articles, editorials, recordings from the Skokie Village Board of Trustees meetings, a memoir written by a local clergywoman, and two documentary films.</p>
