As I was looking on the Jerusalem post’s website as I usually do when I have a free moment, I came across this article and it truly bothered me so I thought I would share my comments….

“US Neo Nazi’s gear up for Hitler’s b’day” … was the title of this article and I must say at first I thought it was some kind of cruel joke or something… but it’s not.
As Hitler’s 119th anniversary of the day he was born happened on April 19th many of his supporters in the United States will be holding events and rallies in his honor and to celebrate his life… when I first read the article the first things that came to my mind was why after so many years after the Holocaust ended and Hitler gone why would anyone especially in the United States still support him? After thinking about this question for quite some time I realized that they must have been brainwashed to believe in the things Hitler believed in…
As I shared this article with my mom she said that our congregation has been talking about events such as these and that a neo-Nazi group that tried to march in Skokie where I live a few years ago is planning to try again at the end of April so that they may show their support for Hitler.
A lot of the places such as Washington DC and Chicago that these groups are planning to have events in are highly populated by Jews. It is sad to me that after all this time has passed after Nazi reign and the world devastation of the Holocaust that there are still people who associate with Hitler.
It bothers me so much that especially in the United States that there is nothing that we can do to stop these groups from marching and holding events in the name of Hitler….. I am very bothered by this article and I think that it bothers me more that this article was posted at that these events were held as Pesach a holiday of freedom has just begun
