Skokie - When the Nazis Planned A March in A Jewish Community [View all]

[Honeycombe8]

Made for tv movie based on real events. Danny Kaye's initial response to instructions from moderate leaders to not react to a planned Nazi march in Skokie, Illinois, a community of which 40% were Jewish.

Kaye's character, a Holocaust survivor, takes issue with doing nothing, so as not to give the cameras anything to report.

His initial speech starts at about 3:00. Then he sits down and gets up again to finish his speech. Good movie. To me, this brings home the fact that Nazis are not like most other groups. Nazis are not a political group, and to pretend otherwise is dangerous and foolish. There's a history with Nazis that we are all too aware of. The world cannot forget the end game of that group.
