Surviving Skokie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0zU3-4_Rb8

For decades, Jack Adler kept his horrific memories of the Holocaust secret. His silence ended when neo-Nazis threatened to march in the village of Skokie, Illinois, in the 1970s. Filmmaker Eli Adler confronts his father’s past when they return to Poland to tell the stories of family members who perished in the ghetto and death camps. Interviewed in the film are key players in Skokie’s attempt to stop the neo-Nazis from marching. Drawing parallels to the events surrounding the white supremacist gatherings in Charlottesville, Surviving Skokie is the story of a community’s battle against the voices and gestures of hate.
