‘Sponsor’ the Nazis
Courts have upheld the right of the Nazis
to march in Skokie. I am appalled!
But if this march has to go on, the Jews
should make something good come of it. My
neighbor had a plan I agree with: The Jews
should sponsor the Nazi march as though it
were a walkathon and give the proceeds to
the State of Israel.
The Nazis chose Skokie for one reason, to
bring back dreaded memories of horrors in
concentration camps to many Holocaust survivors living in Skokie. Sponsoring the Nazis
to walk would be the best thing Jews and all
people can do in response.

A belated thank you
for keeping Nazis out
Dear Editor:
Before I tell you what I though of the movie “Skokie” I want to express my belated
“thank you” to all who helped keep the Nazis out of our village and parks.
I looked forward to seeing the TV movie “Skokie” to the point where I turned off my
telephone so as not to miss any of it. The Nazi swastika flag for the opening threw
goose bumps and flash backs through me. I am a Veteran of the World War II Army
Medical Corps and my patients told me stories of what they had experienced and seen
overseas. I am first generation in this beautiful country of ours, the United States of
America, and never a day goes by when I don’t thank God that my parents came her
from Warsaw, Poland My grandparents and uncle were killed by the S.S. Troppers
because they would not oblige the Nazis with food and their homes.
I guess it’s easier said than done, but I’d like to tell the “Holocaust” survivors to be
proud of your heritage and he proud to be one who survived your horrible experience.
No one and I mean no one can ever know what these poor Jews experienced. I agree
with you lOO percent on the slogan in the movie “Nver Again!“-at least not here in
America. As long as there is one left, I don’t think the Nazi group will get far. At
present, Poland is going through a survival and the determination of the good will
overcome all the bad as our Lord up above is looking out for them.
I think we have the best mayor in tbe world in Albert Smith and also our village
attorney, Harvey Schwartz. Seeing the movie gave us Skokians a chance to see who
was handling what and in what way. Getting the injunction from Judge Sullivan was
good thinking on the part of Schwartz to stop the Nazi group.
I read some critics reviews and they claim much has been overdone, etc. However,
I imagine if one-fourth of the movie told the truth it was sufficient for the people of the
U.S.A. to know what took place here in 1878. I’m glad they made the movie “Skokie.”
Now I know what took place here. I didn’t go downtown or to tbe park because I felt
they (Nazis) were not worthy of any spectators. I knew our excellent team behind our
good mayor would take care of it all. Like the man said, “Not one inch did they march
here in Skokie.” Skokie.”
Again, a belated “thank you” to all who helped keep the Nazis out of our parks and
village.

Hatred on the march
Must suburban Skokie, with its large Jewish
population, tolerate an anti-Jewish hate group
parading in its midst ? The Supreme Court
in effect has said yes-though not loud and
clear, but in the hoarse whisper of a 5-to-4
ruling that means several things.
First, the decision Wednesday cited the
basic rights of peaceful assembly and free
speech. But the First Amendment does not
grant the right to incite a riot. There’s no
right to shout “Fire!” in a crowded theater.
Thus the court majority did not see the march
as a provocation in itself.
Yet many will see a provocation.
The Nazi Party knows that some 7,000
Jewish residents of Skokie suffered Nazi
atrocities in Europe. Party leaders say they
want to march where their concepts are most
opposed. That's not a march for positive civil
rights but a taunt and a publicity grab.
As one Jewish spokesman said, the march
is “a deliberate and calculated affront” to
Chicago’s Jewish community. It is even more:
It is an outrageous affront to every Chicagoan
who believes in decency and human brother hood under the fatherhood of God.
It is also a classic test of democracy. A
cherished principle of free people to speak
and assemble will be used-misused-by a
small group to spew their hate. In the broad
scheme of freedom, even Nazi distortions and
Nazi lies must be allowed to be heard.
To hear something is not to endorse or
accept what is heard. But to censor speech
is to endorse tyranny. The free exchange of
ideas, even wrong ones, is basic in a democracy-though it must not harm others.
Thus the Supreme Court ruling is right,
even as it puts strains on human emotions
and civic responsibilities.
Now, Skokie and Cook County law agencies
must come forth to keep the peace if the Nazi
march is held. (Perhaps it won’t be. Other
Skokie ordinances such as insurance requirements may cool the Nazis’ zeal, but that cannot be assumed.) Outsiders should stay away.
And residents with memories of Nazi cruelty deep within them should try to restrain
understandable impulses to oppose the march
ers. To let such evil parade alone-to deny
it attention-might have been inappropriate
in Berlin in the 1930s, but it is an appropriate
response in a democracy in 1977. Hatred dies
under its own weight.
If the Nazis march, we hope it’s on July 4th.
Their views will contrast clearly as ugly and
pitiable against the ideals celebrated on that
birthday of freedom.
Honorable people can disagree about school
desegregation methods, but Chicago protesters who have marched in recent days with
Nazi symbols have no honor. The twisted
cross of the swastika symbolizes twisted values that Americans cannot accept.
Those who wear swastika T-shirts and carry
swastika signs reveal their own ignorance
They shame themselves. They shame Chicago. They shame their country.

Holocaust could occur again-possibly in U.S.
Personal view / Yechiel Eckstein
WHATEVER ELSE may be said about the TV show “Holocaust” and the reaction to the Nazi-Skokie issue, one thing is
clear: These two events raised the consciousness (and won
the sympathy) of millions of Americans who previously were not aware
of the scope of evil and human suffering characterized by the term
Holocaust.
Also, they stimulated a good deal of
soul-searching. Millions asked themselves, many for the first time, whether our society had finally learned from
the cataclysmic Holocaust that silence,
apathy and a business-as-usual philosophy are not a form of response.
Many agonized over whether a similar
event could occur again, perhaps here
in America. Jews asked Christians,
RABBI YECHIEL and Christians asked themselves, what
their response would be if Jewish life
ECKSTEIN
in America were threatened.
Many, both Christian and Jew, sought to resolve these
quandaries by pointing to the tremendous outburst of Christian support for the Jews of Skokie, The Christian show of
solidarity, they felt, clearly demonstrated that the response
would be far different from that “offered” in World War II.
Jews would never again stand alone.
To be sure, much has changed in the relationship between
Christians and Jews in the last 30 years. Official Catholic
and Protestant statements strongly condemn all forms of
anti-Semitism. The Jewishness of Jesus has been rediscovered. Christians have initiated Holocaust services and even
have come to sanctify the insistence of Nazi victim Deitrich
Bonhoeffer-a Lutheran theologian-that blind obedience to
the state can be idolatrous.
Yet, the United States is not Nazi Germany. Frank Collin
is not Adolf Hitler. We must ask ourselves: Is the outburst of
Christian sentiment for the Jews of Skokie a valid, indication
of their response if their own lives and the lives of their
families were jeopardized by their support? Has Christology
been universally and totally expunged of its anti-Jewish biases? If not, could these feelings surface under certain social,
economic and political conditions? Finally, could Jews rely
on Christian martyrdom? And could non-Jewish minorities,
if they were threatened, rely on Jewish heroism?
WHEN OUR OWN LIVES are threatened, we all react in
different ways-and possibly not the way we anticipated,
Our lives, for the most part, revolve around our own interests, problems and preoccupations. And the concerned individual, facing massive and indifferent bureaucracy, often
feels impotent. Given all this, what can we expect of the
American people if Jews or any other minority were threatened with genocide?
Our society has not yet begun to address this question,
The Holocaust and other instances of genocide are not being
taught in our schools, and the moral implications of these
events are not being absorbed by the next generation. The
disease of anti-Semitism has not yet been eradicated the fear
of the “foreigner” has not yet dissipated and true respect for
religious, ethnic and racial diversity is still somewhere down
the road.
What happens to our morality in crises? Who and what
are deemed expendable during an oil embargo, an economic
depression or prolonged periods of unemployment? Israel,
Jews, blacks, Latinos? Despite the Holocaust, Vietnam and
Watergate, don’t we still tend to give blind obedience to authority? Couldn’t we just as blindly obey authoritarianism?
How energetically are we opposing the current genocides in
Uganda and Cambodia, or the racial and religious bigotry
and violence in Lebanon, Northern Ireland and South Africa?
I BELIEVE THAT MAN IS NOT inherently evil, but he
does have the potential and perhaps even the propensity for
it. I don’t believe that a Holocaust of Jews or any other minority will occur in the United States, but I recognize that it
is not beyond the realm of possibility. Given the right circumstances, decent and ethical people-Jews, Christians,
other Gentiles-can be swayed to the point of “each for himself.” No religious, ethnic or racial group is immune to becoming either the victim or the practitioner of hatred and
violence.
None of us should be fooled into believing that, through
the TV show and the Nazi threat to march in Skokie, we
have spiritually and culturally leaped from raised-consciousness to moral conscience. The truth is that we have only just
begun to ponder the questions crying out to us from the
ashes of Auschwitz.
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein works in education and inter-religious activities for the Chicago office of the Anti-Defamation
League of B’nai B'rith.

Kup’s column
One Man’s Opinion: The American Civil
Liberties Union’s defense of the Nazis’ right
to march in Skokie comes under attack by
Abba P. Lerner, professor of economics at
Florida State U. In a letter to the New York
Times, he points out: “The intention of the
ACLU is noble but the understanding of their
duty is faulty. The overriding purpose of the
ACLU is to promote and defend a democratic social order
in which freedom of speech is secure. If this purpose comes
into conflict with freedom of speech directed at destroying
such democratic social order, their obligation surely is to
protect the social order of free speech, rather than the free
speech of the destroyers.
“IT IS TRUE THAT UNPOPULAR as well as popular
speech must be kept free, but it is not the unpopularity of
Nazism that deprives Nazis of their free speech rights. It is
their opposition to that right for all and their intention to
destroy it that makes it monstrously impertinent for them to
claim it. It is a grievous mistake for the ACLU to accept
Nazism as merely another unpopular point of view to be
defended against prejudice and intolerance.” And Lerner’s
conclusion: “It is the tolerance of intolerance that allows the
fatter to grow and threaten our freedoms.”

Kup’s column
You’ve heard of politics making strange
bedfellow? Here’s a topper-an Arab
group in America denouncing the neoNazis’ proposed march in Skokie because
of the suffering it would bring to the
village’s Jewish residents. Skokie Mayor
Albert Smith received this telegram from
Hisham Sharabi, president of the National
Assn. of Arab Americans: “We join with other concerned
Americans in opposing the march by the National Socialist
Party of America in Skokie as a deliberate provocation by an
anti-Semitic group in a communitywhose members have
suffered too much.” Smith, needless to mention, was almost
speechless in his surprise over the source of support.
MEANWHILE, FRANK COLLIN, the nefarious Nazi, is
coming under bitter attack from another Nazi group, the
National Socialist White People’s Party, headquartered in
Arlington, Va. The party is passing out leaflets in the
Washington area, calling Collin a “phony who is trying to
fool people by hiding the fact his father is Jewish.” The
party also charges that Collin, once a member of the
NSWPP, “stole our funds when he was ousted and used that
money to establish the crummy National Socialist Party of
America in Chicago.” (A classic example of the pot calling
the kettle black.)

Dear Mayor:
The enclosed Resolution is directed to

RESOLUT'ION ON UPHOLDING AMERICAN STANDARDS IN SKOKIE, ILLINOIS
At this time when we see in our midst the spectre of Naziism, and when a l l loyal and right-thinking Americans are united |
in their revulsion to the Jack-boots of Nazi storm troopers
whose marching over our land is the very antithesis of all that
we cherish, we call upon the authorities responsible for public
safety to assure its maintenance.
Even as the first amendment
protects those whose beliefs we must abhor, so we must also protect the right of peaceful assembly and demonstration for the
vast majority who, in the true spirit of American freedom, desire to stand together with all the citizens of whatever religion, race or creed to testify to the democratic and just values
for which America has been united.
We need to make known to the world the noble traditions of
the American way which w i l l surmount the deep affront and assault
to our sensibilities that the Nazi march in Skokie inflicts on
all of us. Therefore, we look to you to uphold our American
standard.

Dear Ms. Doty:
Your recent note regarding the Nazis has been
received. Rest assured that we 1n the V i l l a g e
of Skokie are fighting them with every legal
device available to us. I heartily agree
that these kind of people have no status 1n
a country of freedom-loving people such as the
United States.
I want to encourage you to always speak up
against tactics such as those used by anyone
low enough to adopt the word "Nazi" as their
title.
Sincerely,
Albert J. Smith

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.

Dear Rabbi Brief:
There w i l l be a meeting to discuss the general reactions
and responses of the community of Skokie in the event

Socialist Party (Nazis) is able to march. A number of
interested citizens have i n d i c a t e d that there is a need
for some type of contingency p l a n n i n g .
It has further been suggested that the I n d u s t r i a l Areas

p l a n n i n g efforts. The Industrial Areas Foundation is an
organization founded by Saul A l i n s k y w h i c h provides
t r a i n i n g and assistance in grass roots o r g a n i z i n g efforts.
In general, the meeting w i l l be an open discussion of
the "Nazi" situation but w i l l focus on the question of
using the Industrial Areas Foundation in Skokie.
The meeting has been s c h e d u l e d for February 28 at 7:30 P.M
in the Skokie V i l l a g e Hall Conference Room. If you w i l l
not be able to attend, please contact my secretary,

Dear Sir:
Since the Supreme Court has cleared the way for
the Nazis to march and spread their hate campaign
in Skokie, Illinois on June 25, why don't we
Americans drape our homes in whatever way we can
with black on that day in memory of the 6,000,000
Jews murdered by the Nazis and then hang out our
American flags just to let them know it is not
going to happen hereJ Is it too late to get something like this going on a nationwide scale?
Very truly yours,
(Mrs.) Cleo Gundersen
cci Mayor, Skokie, Illinois
I just wanted you to know that there are
many of us throughout the country, I'm sure,
who feel in deep sympathy with the people of
your city and who keep you in our prayers.

John N. Matzer, Jr.
Village Manager
5127 Oakton
Skokie, Illinois
Dear Mr. Matzer:
Please be advised that I represent Louis Black.
Pursuant to ordinance 77-5-N-994, an ordinance relating to
Parades and Public Assemblies, specifically Section 27-63,
Mr. Black again makes demand that you, in your capacity as
Village Manager, revoke the letter dated May 25, 1978 for an
alleged demonstration to be held Sunday, June 25, 1978 by the
National Socialist Party of America. We hereby make demand
upon you since facts have been brought to the attention of the
President, Board of Trustees and yourself which show that the
Parade, Public Assembly, or similar activity does not and will
not comply with the standards for the issuance of a permit as
set forth in ordinance 77-5-N-994 and the Laws of the State
of Illinois.
Amongst other violations, the application for permit
tendered to your office dated June 22, 1977 and Aprill 11, 1978
are filed on behalf of the National Socialist Party of America.
No such organization exists and if one so does they are in
violation of Chapter 96, Section 4, Illinois Revised Statutes.
Purther, the application does not contain sufficient information
to comply with Section 27-53 specifically Sections A, B, E, H
and I. Also, we are alleging violation of Section 27-56 specifically Sections A, B, D, E, F, G, H and I. Also we are alleging
violation of Section 27-58 and 27-60.
Please advise my office as to your intent in the
above matter. Mr. Black will take whatever action is necessary
to insure that the ordinances of Skokie and the statutes of the
State of Illinois are complied with. Hopefully we can resolve
this matter without litigation.
J^ery truly yours,
^Btfrton S. OdSXson
Attorney for Louis Black

<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.

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.

to fire-bomb Nazi HQ

Police arrested a “self-employed problemsolver” Thursday who they said told them he
planned to fire-bomb the American Nazi
headquarters on the Southwest Side.
Police Sgt. Harold Zeigler quoted Irving
Lewis, 28, as saying he planned to set fire to
the front of the Nazi storefront headquarters
at 2519 W. 71st, and then blow up an auto
parked at the rear as the Nazis fled out the
back.
Lewis, of 525 W. Deming, was observed
by police as he sat in an auto parked in an
alley behind the building that serves as a
meeting place and residence for the National
Socialists Party of America.
ZEIGLER SAID that when police sought
to question Lewis they smelled gasoline and
asked him to step outside his car. Inside,
Zeigler said, police found five Molotov cocktails made out of soft drink bottles. filled
with gasoline, two 4-foot logs and a wine
bottle filled with gasoline.
Lewis told police his plan was to ignite
the gasoline-soaked logs against the front
door, hurl the fire-bombs against the front of
the building, and then blow up the car at the
rear by lighting a paper wick shoved into
the full gasoline tank, Zeigler said.
Lewis added that the car belonged to his

A spokesman for the Nazis said there

because one crazy Jew tried to burn himself
up.”
Zeigler said Lewis gave his occupation as
“a self-employed problem solver for business
and industry.” He told police he tried to
bomb the building “because he was inspired
by the TV program Holocaust,” Zeigler said.
Leighton also said that Collin and the
Nazis would sign a waiver stating the Park
District would not be liable for any injuries
or damage that might take place.
Collin said he interpreted the clause to
mean that his Nazis would be liable for
injuries or damage caused by themselves. “I
am willing (to sign),” he said. “All I wanted
was a fair shake. I’m willing to go halfway,”
Richard J. Troy, attorney for the Park
District, said he interpreted the immunity
from lawsuits to mean that Collin and the
Nazis will be liable. Asked whether the Park
District had been used as a pawn in the
struggle over a Skokie rally, Troy said: “The
Skokie problem has now moved into the City
of Chicago.”
He said he will evaluate all legal options,
including an appeal, before he decides what
to do.
Leighton issued the order verbally Tuesday. At that time, Nazi leader Frank Collin
said that if the signed order was to his liking
he would call off the Nazi rally scheduled
for Sunday in heavily Jewish Skokie.
Jewish leaders, who had planned a
counter-demonstration of 50,000 persons in
Skokie to the Nazi rally, have said they in
turn will call off their rally if the Nazis do.

When the Nazis occupied Denmark in 1943, they issued an order which would require all Jews to wear the Yellow Star of David, as had been done in all countries
under Nazi domination. In response to this order King Christian of Denmark declared:
"IF THE JEWS ARE FORCED TO WEAR THIS
YELLOW STAR, I AND MY WHOLE FAMILY
SHALL WEAR IT AS A BADGE OF HONOR."
The simple, heroic response by the King of Denmark had a tremendous effect
—the Danes saw to it that almost no Jews in their country fell into Nazi hands and
their death camps.
The Star o* David, not only has deep religious significance for the Jews, but also
a great historic symbol for all people who are opposed to doctrines of genocide and
racism.
t
THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF CHRISTIANS AND JEWS calls upon all,
Americans to respond to the proposed Nazi march in Skokie on June 25th (and
any other such public demonstration anywhere, anytime) by wearing the Yellow
Star of David as a badge of honor, symbolizing their solidarity with Jews and
others who are targets of the Nazi propaganda campaign of hate and bigotry.
We urge that the Yellow Star of David symbols be worn in a dignifiecr, -nonviolentmanner in your communities, neighborhoods and churches on the day of the Nazi
demonstration.
THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF CHRISTIANS AND JEWS will supply Yellow
Star of David symbols, free of charge to individuals, church groups or organizations
-write or call Monday thru Friday.

Letters Nazi threat symptomatic of wider cultural decay
I don't argue with Prof. Franklyn S. Haiman’s Personal View on the right of the Nazis
to march in Skokie or anywhere else. What
really concerns me is that the Nazis could
conceivably convince enough people that their
cause is just. And the way things are moving
in the United States and in the world in 1978,
that thought is not too far-fetched. At that
point, however, free speech in America could
soon end.
“Poppycock,” some might say. Maybe. But
The Sun-Times and other newspapers report
daily how the ethical, moral and political
fibers of the United States are crumbling at
an alarming rate. That same kind of thing
happened to the Roman Empire and the
German Empire. And I am scared.
Not because of Skokie, but because of what
can and will happen to us in the long run.
Further, the credibility of the United States
has never been lower than it is today and our
leadership, both abroad and internally, is
sinking to even lower depths as sociopaths,
along with weak leaders, add to our ruin.
We don’t need to give “free speech” to the
Nazis, the pornographers, the violators of our
social standards. Doing so is only killing us killing our right to be a free nation, under
W. Dennis Hodges
God.

Nazis and Skokie: incredible morality play
Georgie
Anne Geyer
WASHINGTON - If the demonstration had not been canceled Thursday night, a large group of American Nazis
would have marched through the pleasant, mostly Jewish
suburb of Skokie, Ill., this Sunday. As they moved past the
houses of the people there, many survivors of the concentration camps, they would have spoken, shouted, provoked and
given out literature to celebrate-two months late-the
birthday of Adolf Hitler. And all of it would have been
protected by precisely those First Amendment rights that
they would so wantonly destroy if they could.
That, at least, was the picture given out by the press, and
this had stirred emotions in many to the level of terror.
THERE IS ONLY ONE TROUBLE. Much of it wasn’t true.
And I have to say as a journalist that, if there had been
trouble Sunday, we in the press would have borne some
responsibility for it. M y purely emotional feeling has been
that the Nazis should not have been permitted to be in
Skokie. Most countries of the world have laws against either
group libel or advocacy of genocide.
But . . . the Nazis were not going to “march through
Skokie,” as almost every article said. They were going to
wear the heinous uniforms we all hoped died in the bunkers
of Berlin, but they were not going to speak a word. Indeed,
as they circled for only a half hour in front of city hall, they
would have engaged only in what is called “symbolic
speech” - uniforms and signs. Legally, it is a form of speech
also protected by the First Amendment in the same manner
as wearing arm bands during the Vietnam War.
I HAVE TO THINK THAT SOME of the inner and outer
terror the once-victims of Skokie have been put through
might not have occurred were it not for the incredible
overwriting of this emotion-ridden story.
As Executive Director David Hamlin of the American Civil
Liberties Union in Chicago says, “If I see the 'march through
Skokie’ one more time, I’ll scream. To a great extent, the
things people have feared have come from the stark relief
way in which the press has perceived it from the beginning.
A simple little Nazi demonstration was not enough.”
The ACLU lawyers, many of whom are themselves Jewish
and thus have suffered a particularly exquisite torment, have
convinced me that even Nazis, as disgusting as they are,
have the right to “symbolic speech.”
But what, I have kept asking myself lately, about the kind
of anti-group libel law or anti-genocide law which other
countries enjoy? Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal touched on
this when he visited Chicago recently, saying, “You need
what we have in Europe-a law against racial hatred.”
But Hamlin persuaded me against this. “The group libel
law [that the Illinois Legislature was considering] would
also sweep up the Bible for decrying the Jews who left the
fold, Shakespeare because of Shylock and, if it didn’t get
Randy Newman’s ‘Short People,’ it would surely get his
‘Rednecks.’”
WHY NOT A LAW against the advocacy of genocide?”
“My difficulty here,” Hamlin says, “is that then I can’t see
my enemies. As it is, I know where they are. The enemies
I’m afraid of are the ones I can’t see. The minimum would be
to drive them underground. Also, you see how loosely all of
this can be applied in the UN.” He paused. “It has been said
that Zionism is the equivalent of racism; in effect, that
Zionism is ‘group libel.’ Do we want that?”
When it is all played out, what will be left behind is the
memory of an incredible morality play: young Jewish ACLU
lawyers acting out their lives in the best tradition of The
Book and The Law against precisely that other atavistic
primitivism that is always there, too, lurking in the mold and
shadows, to destroy civility and civilization.

OPINION
Is a Nazi threat
worth the coverage?
In light of recent stories about the possibility of another Nazi
march through Skokie, the question arises about why such a group
receives coverage.
The neo-Nazis again are threatening Skokie with plans to march
on Easter Sunday - at least that is what we are told. The village hall
has not received word from the Nazis either way - at least that is what
officials tell us.
It has been pointed out to us that this may be a ploy on the Nazis’
part to gain publicity, which is always a possibility.
If that is true, then it raises the question of whether we are playing
their game by reporting on the “plans.” It is a difficult question, but it is
the same question that confronted everyone here four years ago.
Should we ignore it? Or is the renewed threat of a march such an
insult to Skokie residents that we cannot ignore it?
We feel compelled to report about something like this that might
happen, whether or not it actually will, because it is such a deeply
emotional issue to many Skokie residents.
During this replay of a Nazi rally attempt, a question also arises
about the validity of what village officials are telling us. Are village
officials telling us the truth? Naturally most people are suspicious when
one party makes a statement and government officials flatly deny it.
But Mayor Albert Smith’s record on the last rally attempt is
strong and can stand on its own. His actions then lend a great deal of
credibility to his statements now. He didn’t back down and hide in a
corner the last time, and there is no reason to think he would now.
He expresses concern about the Nazi claims now because he feels
so strongly about its impact on Skokie.
It also is obvious that an organization such as the Nazi group
thrives on publicity. If everyone ignored it, some argue, it would
eventually fade away.
But for a newspaper that strives to report accurately what is going
on in Skokie, ignoring something as sensitive and emotional as a Nazi
march would be ignoring our responsibility to every Skokie resident.
