I was in fifth grade at Skokie’s Devonshire School when the American Nazis decided they would torment a Chicago suburb known for having a high percentage of Holocaust survivors.
But there was a dark side, a sad side, that the folks weren’t eager to connect the dots for me. We had floor-to-ceiling built-in book shelves. I couldn’t understand why my dad would buy “the same book over and over,” which they seemed to be. So many had strange black hooked lines on the covers. Nobody appeared to like the books, but we always had to get more and more.
It was then that I was allowed to buy groceries for the first time. Very exciting stuff: crossing the streets, getting the best products, counting the change. As soon as I exited the store, though, I was accosted by a man in full Nazi regalia who shoved a pamphlet in my hand. I dropped all the groceries and ran home.
News cameras were starting to crop up everywhere, even next to my school. I was always a ham and talked about what I’d say to them if given the chance. My folks replied, “Oh, I don’t think so.” They yanked us out of school for two weeks and there several other families who did the same. This week, it all came rushing back again. Incensed that the Simon Wiesenthal Center was holding a pro-Israel rally in this now-historic village, a pro-Palestinian gathering violently demonstrated outside, injuring people — including a staff member of Turning Point USA.
