Suits, charges heat dispute
over Nazi plans to march
By Bob Olmstead
and Lillian Williams
American Nazi plans to march in heavily
Jewish Skokie were a-swirl with controversy
Monday as:
l The American Civil Liberties Union
charged Illinois courts are disobeying a t w o week-old Supreme Court order to act
promptly on the Nazi request for a march
permit.
l A Skokie Jew filed a class-action suit in
behalf of all Jewish survivors “of racial extermination carried on by Adolf Hitler,” asking that the Nazis be permanently banned
from marching in Skokie.
l A group of activists including “the Revolutionary Communist Party” threatened violence if necessary to block the planned Skokie
march by the Nazis on July4.
l Skokie residents reported that many received anti-Jewish hate mail Monday.
The ACLU charge was made by David
Hamlin, the executive secretary of the
group’s Illinois division.
He said the Supreme Court on June 14 ordered the Illinois Appellate Court “either to
stay the (Circuit Court) injunction pending a
hearing, or schedule a hearing virtually immediately .”
“The Illinois courts have done neither,”
Hamlin said. “The Illinois courts are not
obeying the Supreme Court order.”
The Appellate Court has asked both sides to
file on Tuesday their proposed schedules to
handle the matter. Hamlin said the ACLU
will ask the Appellate Court to lift the injunction barring a Skokie march immediately. If the Appellate Court does not, he said,
"We would immediately appeal to the state
Supreme Court. If the state Supreme Court
doesn’t stay the injunction, we'd go to the
U.S. Supreme Court.”
Hamlin added that even if the injunction
were struck down immediately, the Nazis
would still have to fight what the ACLU believes are unconstitutional Skokie ordinances
drawn up to require them to put up a $350,000
bond in order to get a permit, and which ban
paramilitary uniforms or “symbols that are
offensive to the community.”
He said he doubted that all these legal bar-
riers could be removed by July 4.
In Circuit Court, Sol Goldstein, 63, asked
the court to permanently bar the Nazis from
marching in Skokie.
He argued that any such march would
cause Skokie residents who are survivors of
the World War II holocaust “severe emotional
distress.” He submitted an affidavit by a University of Chicago psychiatrist, Dr. Lawrence
Z. Freedman, who said that such a march
would cause various emotional injuries to the
Jews, including “an urge to respond pathologically to the re-enactment experience,”
Others threatened other means to stop the
march.
Jerry Biegel, 28, a spokesman for the “Run
the Nazis Out of Town Coalition,” called a
press conference at the Dirksen Federal
Building to say he led a group that has vowed
to stop any Nazi 4th of July march "by any
means necessary.”
Biegel said he did not rule out violence as
one of those means.
Literature handed out by the group claimed
those vowing this opposition included Vietnam Veterans Against the War, the Iranian
Students Assn. and the Revolutionary Communist Party.
A spokesman at the Illinois Communist
Party headquarters, 27 E. Monroe, said it is
not connected with the Revolutionary Communist Party and opposes violence as a
means of stopping the Nazis on July 4.
Mrs. Rosalyn Davis of 9458 N. Lore1 in
Skokie, said she received hate literature Monday from the “National Socialist White
People’s Party” giving alleged racist quotes
by Abraham Lincoln and asking “How many
stores in your area are Jew owned?”
Mrs. Davis said she complained to the
Skokie Post Office, and was told the Post Office had received many similar complaints
that morning.
"You know” said Mrs. Davis, “no member
of my immediate family was in a concentration camp, and I thought I could look objectively on this. But now I’m furious.”

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.
