Now in 2024 the Nazis aren't these guys but violent college students chanting " free Palestine " and they're 1, 000 X more than this crew. And notice how the violent, murderous communists have no problem with free speech?

I saw this movie back in 1987 in my 7th grade social studies class , but I did not remember a thing about it & also didn't care about the Jews , but I was only 12 years old , & now 37 years later watched this movie again & I support all the Jews who fought against the Nazi pukes , I always try to remember to pray for the Jews & the whole nation of Israel & stand beside them

Great Movie. The irony of Israel's genocide on Palestinians is disappointing .They should know better.

My parents were Polish and both were taken from their families, to Germany to be fiven to Germans. My mother was 16, given as a housemaid to the home if an SS officer. My dad was 22, given as labor to a german farmer. They didnt speak of those years but i know a little. They never returned to Poland, came to US as DPs sponsored by a Polish Franciscan. When the Nazis wanted to march in Skokie, my father chose a sturdy 2x4 piece of lumber. (We lived south of chicago). He wanted to go...to meet those Nazis. I talked him out of it, explaining the First Amendment. Now....i would have picked up another 2x4 and gone with him.

Such a powerful film. I have never heard of this film before, but Danny’s performance came from his Jewish heart, and the rest of the cast also acted well. For me the main question is “ Does freedom of speech mean that spewers of hate and violence must be allowed to speak anyway?” My answer is “No.”

The irony being that the real-life Frank Collin was the grandson of Jews who were killed in Dachau.

You do know that Frank Collin himself was a Jew!!! His father served two years in Bergan Belsen as a Jew before the camp was rescued!!! He has consistently denied that he is Jewish however his father has confirmed that he is Jewish. His father cannot understand his son!

Back when the ACLU fought for the rights of people they didn't agree with. The residents who tried to block free speech were 100% in the wrong and forgot the REASON America is safe from the horrors of totalitarianism is that people are allowed to speak freely; this right only matters if we protect UNPOPULAR speech as well, because popular speech will always be allowed by the state. Quite ironic, that so many fled to the US to seek freedom, but did not want to learn that freedom encompasses things that they do not like, as well.

I used to live in Skokie back in the early 1980's and recognized quite a few of the buildings... But it's sad to say that in 2023 the same issues with race/religion/gender seem to have gotten much worse over time. Not better...🤔😕

I cried through most of this movie when I first put it in my DVD player (I bought the DVD before I found it on KZbin). Danny Kaye's performance here was absolutely moving. I don't know how else to say it. I felt that Carl Reiner also showed his dramatic acting chops in this one.

My history teacher showed us this film when I was a kid. The events of the Skokie conflict were only a few years old at the time, and I went to Temple with a number of Holocaust survivors. This heart wrenching movie gave me a tiny glimpse into the suffering of these poor people, and I found myself identifying with that poor girl who felt so guilty that she couldn't understand the grief of her elders. I felt like a spoiled child who could never grasp the concept of true horror and loss, and that somehow made me less of a Jew. But, at the same time, it filled me with a sense of defiance. To this day, I can say with conviction that if the forces of modern Nazism attempt to seize control in this country, there will be blood...and it won't be Jewish blood this time.
