Boy begs:
Stop Nazis
By DIANE DUBEY
Correspondent
SKOKIE-A 12-year-old resident joined other Skokians on Monday, June 20, in asking the village board
to do everything possible to avert a July 4 march-by
members of the National Socialist (Nazi) party.
The Southwest Chicago group on June 15 announced their intention to assemble in front of Skokie
Village Hall, only hours after the U.S. Supreme Court
lifted an injunction issued in April by Cook county Circuit Court Judge Joseph Wosik to prevent a Nazi demonstration.
“The first amendment may say freedom of speech,
but not the freedom to spread hatred,” said Jack Israel, 12, of 8709 East Prairie. “This country was built
of immigrants-let’s not blow everything away by having people spread hatred of minorities,” he added.
Reading from a prepared text, Ruth Schaffner,
9515 Leamington, thanked the board for preventing
any previous Nazi activities in the village, then called
the proposed July 4 march “an exhibition by a few, desiring publicity and inciting trouble.”
“Since when is the killing of six million people to
be considered ‘free speech’? Do we not abhor pornography and other obscenities?” Schaffner asked.
She went on to say that “allowing the Nazi party to
march through Skokie, the world’s largest village-the
“village of vision”-is only permitting them to curb
the very fine traditions of our country.
THE “SILENT treatment” was recommended by
former trustee Ed Fleischman who said that “their
(the Nazis’) objective is to get publicity.”
“The people of Skokie should make it their business that nobody-and I mean nobody-be there to
give them their audience,” he told the board.
Trustee Morris Topol called Fleischman’s suggestion “logical and correct” but said that the board realized, after consulting with community leaders, that “it
wasn’t going to work.”
“If you could devise a system where they give a
war and no one shows up, we’d like to hear about it,”
Topol said.
“They’re (the television stations) supporting these
people-that’s what they’re doing,” Smith said. “Let’s
see if we could talk sense to them.”
According to Mayor Albert Smith, local officials
have been in contact with media representatives and
found that “their attitude is that this is news, there are
people interested in it, and they have an obligation to
report it.”
ALTHOUGH THE village has not yet received a
request for a parade permit, Smith told those assembled at Village Hall that “we will do everything in our
power to protect the rights of our citizens.”

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.
