Today is Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. The name comes from the Hebrew word "shoah" meaning catastrophe, utter destruction or desolation.
It was established in 1959 on the anniversary of Warsaw Ghetto uprising on April 19, 1943.
The television movie, Skokie, aired on November 17, 1981 on CBS. It was produced by Robert Berger for Titus Productions, directed by Herbert Wise and written by Ernest Kinoy.
The story, based on actual events, focuses on concentration camp survivor Max Feldman (Danny Kaye,) his wife Bertha (Kim Hunter) and their teenaged daughter Janet (Maren Kanter.) They live peacefully in the Chicago suburb of Skokie, Illinois where Max has just discovered that a group of Nazis planned to march through their town.
Danny's performance is powerful and one to watch. He has seen first hand what the Nazis had done back in Germany and he wasn't about to go through that again.
He wasn't going to ignore them, no,not this time. He would rather fight and spill blood if he had to.
After making that impassioned speech, Danny looked around and noticed tears in the eyes of what he thought were were Hollywood extras. They were actual Holocaust survivors. As Danny remembered "everyone one of them had tattoos on their arms "
