fought back and knew what happened in Germany when Jews just tried to ignore the rise of Nazis.
Skokie and those stopping the march are an example for what's going on today .
Don't ignore them and think they will go away on thier own!
Also I never knew there was a movie.
Plenty of documentsry films in Chicago about the events because it's part of our city's history and that trailer I posted -the full doc is online @PBS, but I am going to check out the movie Skokie . That scene you posted with Danny Kaye was powerful stuff
I see the full movie is available on line also . Thanks again.
