Collin pipes
and we dance
By DIANE DUBEY
Correspondent
GOOD OLD FRANK Collin is probably doubled over with laughter right
about now.
And, ladies and gentlemen of Skokie
and the larger Jewish community, he
owes it all to you.
With your rhetoric, your announcements, your threats and your in-fighting, you’ve made it virtually unnecessary for Collin and his tiny group of
neo-Nazi followers to travel to Skokie.
When the National Socialist (Nazi)
party originally announced its intention
to rally in Skokie last October, the
voice on the tape machine at Nazi
headquarters said something to the effect that “we’re going to Skokie to see
all those Jews go crazy.”
Whereupon the Jews in Skokie went
crazy.
While Collin is buffeted about by
court injunctions, appeals and village
ordinances which keep him physically
out of Skokie, he actually is getting
more attention than a youngster at his
own bar mitzvah.
SKOKIE HAS BECOME a community with its dirty laundry on public display.
Representatives of Jewish organizations are publicly belittling one another. Well-known Jewish leaders are
-
booed by irate crowds whose ideas
don’t mesh with their own. And Skokie
residents who probably have never before set foot in village hall are making
their debuts at board meetings, praising or vilifying public officials, then
presenting and repeating their own
feelings about Collin & Company.
For practical purposes, July 4 is no
longer the date of a proposed march-it’s more likely to mark Skokie’s first
three-ring circus.
A village with 7,000 Holocaust survivors certainly can expect to see fear
and hatred and threats of vengeance.
But “Nazi panic” has reached far
beyond the survivors, becoming precocious rhetoric from 12-year-olds at village board meetings and overtones of
fascism in those like the man who
asked the board to pass an ordinance
forbidding the news media from carrying information on the Nazi activities.
IN ANY CASE, July 4, 1977, may
well be an event to remember. The invitations were sent out weeks ago, but
the refreshments won’t be much and
you can leave your tux in the closet.
Everyone will be too busy to notice
you as they seek out the host and the
guests of honor. They’re the ones in the
funny brown shirts with the funny emblems wearing those big funny grins
all over their faces.

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>
