On February 20, 1939, a Nazi rally took place at Madison Square Garden, organized by the
German American Bund. More than
20,000 peopleattended, and Fritz Julius Kuhn was a featured speaker. The Bund billed the event, which took place two days before George Washington's Birthday, as a pro-"Americanism" rally; the stage at the event featured a huge portrait of George Washington with swastikas on each side.[1] Approximately 100,000 anti-Nazi counter-protesters gathered outside, attempting to break through lines of police officers guarding the rally on three occasions.
On 22 September 2023,
Yaroslav Hunka, a Ukrainian Canadian who
fought in the SS Division Galicia of the military wing of the
Nazi Party, the Waffen-SS, was invited to the
House of Commons of Canada to be recognized by Speaker Anthony Rota, the Member of Parliament for Hunka's district.
