Worth remembering



American Nazi organization rally at Madison Square Garden, 1939




Supposedly 22,000 Nazi supporters attended an American Bund rally at New York's Madison Square Garden in February 1939, under police guard.




A Nazi guard stands before a massive portrait of George Washington.

3. OMG

I did not have this knowledge that Nazi sympathizers were this organized and meeting openly in the United States in the thirties. Shocked, I am. i knew there were sympathizers and anti-Semitism but, no, large gathering in Madison Square Garden?? So, now, the racists, who have been amongst us all along are embracing Nazi-ism again. This country is moving backwards.
