In February 1939, 20,000 Americans gathered at Madison Square Garden to rally in support of Nazism, which is often omitted from U.S. history.
The rally featured disturbing slogans promoting anti-Semitism and extreme nationalist sentiments, revealing the dark undercurrents of American society at that time.
New York City Mayor LaGuardia faced pressure to cancel the event but ultimately allowed it, highlighting the tension between free speech and public safety.
While 20,000 rallied inside, 100,000 counter-protesters assembled outside, showcasing a significant divide in public sentiment regarding Nazism in America.
