S. Supreme Court would not hear arguments aimed at preventing a Nazi demonstration in their village. But it didn't matter anymore. The conflict ended months earlier, in June, when the Nazi march that was to be simply never materialized: • When the tiny group of neo- Nazis from Marquette park in Chicago decided that they didn't really want to be in Skokie on June 25 anyway. • When Nazi leader Frank Collin, a half- Jew, the son of a concentration camp inmate, apparently realized that his small group of marchers might not fare well against the thousands of Holocaust survivors and Jewish Defense League (JDL) members who would be waiting for them. • When a federal court judge provided Collin a way to save face, overturning a Chicago park district insurance requirement and ordering Chicago park officials to grant permission for a July 9 Nazi march in Marquette Park. A pleased—and no doubt relieved—Collin told the press that all he was agitating for was the right to recruit followers through demonstrations on Chicago's Southwest Side. "I have no interest in Skokie or any other hostile area, " he said, telling reporters he would not hesitate to threaten further marches hi Skokie if anyone interfered with his free speech rights in Chicago. • When the 50, 000 counterdemonstrators expected to arrive in Skokie from across the country learned that there would be no Nazi menace hi Skokie and concluded that they might just as well stay home and throw a few hot dogs on the grill. • When the Skokie police breathed a collective sigh of relief and disbanded preparations which were to bring in 300 neighboring patrolmen, large numbers of state troopers and national guardsmen, and seven helicopters. BY OCTOBER it was all over but the reminiscing. The story that had put Skokie on the map was no longer making headlines. Harvey Schwartz, Skokie's corporation counsel, was in the forefront of the movement to keep the Nazis out of the village, fighting one legal battle after another against the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which voluntarily undertook the representation of the Nazis. Looking back on the entire episode, Schwartz said, "I think the community achieved what it wanted—the demonstration was prevented. " The first six months of 1978 saw Skokie overshadowed by the threat of a Nazi demonstration. The Nazis did not come to Skokie hi April and no educational activities ever materialized. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Over 1,000 participant*7 ii/a/Fuly 4'rally at Maye* Kaplan Jewish Community Center, SOX Church, heard Rabbi Meir Kahane, head of the Jewish Defense League, pledge the destruction of the Nazi office in Chicago. "I give you my word, that hi the days to come, the obscenities who sit hi that office hi Chicago will no MAYOR SMITH COLLECTION longer sit there," he announced. Standing in the JCC parking lot hi 100-degree heat, listeners mopped their faces with kleenex and their shirtsleeves as Kahane exhorted them to "be good, active Jews, join your synagogs and Jewish groups, make your leaders be Jewish leaders and Jewish rabbis. "Let us pledge as Jews never again to allow a little cancer to emerge and to swallow us up," he shouted over the noice from a police helicopter which circled the parking lot throughout the rally. CALLING FOR a "rededication to the concept of 'never again'," Kahane told his audience that "we owe it to the six million (Jews killed by Nazis during World War II)... to promise that the descendants and heirs of Hitler will never march again." A Nazi march originally planned for July 4 in front of Skokie Village hall was cancelled when Nazi leaders decided not to violate a court injunction issued in Cook County circuit court on April 30 which has not yet been overturned. A hearing on the injunction will be held at " a.m. on Friday, July 8 in the Illinois Appellate urt. Also speaking at the JCC rally was the Rev. C. H. F Turner, chairman of the non-violent Martin Luther King movement who announced an August 20 march on Nazi headquarters in Marquette Park. "The black community is asleep ... but I hope my black brothers and sisters in ghettos on the west and south sides will wake up and see that we must stamp out the Nazi party," Turner said. AFTER THE rally which ended with the singing of Hatikvah, the Israeli national anthem, JDL members in uniforms and helmets stood on the east side of the parking lot shouting "Six million—never again." Nearly 100 JDL members travelled to Skokie from across the country even after they were informed that the Nazis wouldn't march. Several had sticks and clubs confiscated by Skokie police. At a 2 p.m. demonstration in front of Skokie Village hall, about 200 people gathered to hear members of the Workers' Defense Coalition protest the presence of Nazis in the Chicago area. Earlier in the day, two women from the "Run the Nazis Out" Coalition leafletted in front of the village hall, asking bystanders to join a group leaving from Lockwood park in Skokie to participate in a march across the street from Nazi headquarters hi Chicago. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
