Document I: Photograph of American Nazi Group

Italian Black Shirts

1937 Image from Page 35 of "Wunderlich's Salute" by Marvin D. Miller. Published by Malamud-Rose.

Discussion Questions

1. Study the photo and identify symbols representative of Nazi ideology. 

2. Yaphank is located in Suffolk County (on Long Island). Does it surprise you that a pro-Nazi camp existed there?  

3. What does this photo indicate about some American’s view of Jewish immigration to the United States?
