Mediator tells of neo-Nazis
■ Richard Salem describes a
difficult case to law students
By Hank Hager
Oregon Daily Emerald
Richard Salem, former U.S. Com
munity Relations Service federal
mediator, said Wednesday night
that if he had not helped intervene
in a dispute between neo-Nazis and
Holocaust survivors, he would have
been afraid for the lives of those in
volved.
Salem’s speech, “Should We
Mediate with Neo-Nazis?”, ad
dressed the nearly two-year long
battle between the residents of
Skokie, 111., and the neo-Nazis. The
speech at the Knight Law Center
attracted more than 50 interested
law students and community
members.
Lisa Kloppenberg, director of the
Appropriate Dispute Resolution
program, said even though the in
cident occurred far in the past,
there is still reason to analyze it.
“Even though the Skokie Nazi

worth taking a look at.”
From 1976-78, Salem played an
important role in the dispute be

community. Frank Collin, leader of
the neo-Nazi group, attempted to
gain access to Marquette Park, but
was rebuffed unless he paid a
$350,000 bond in case of damage.
When he could not afford to do so
and tensions rose between the two
groups, Salem and his partner,
Werner Petterson, were assigned to
mediate the dispute. But at the
time, the role of the federal agency
was not as a mediator.
“The parties wanted a conflict,
not a resolution,” Salem said. “We
served as an intermediary between
Skokie and the neo-Nazis, and
from our experience, we were able
to give advice.”
Eventually, a split in the neo
Nazi party allowed for Skokie res
idents to rest easier regarding the
neo-Nazi presence in the city.
Salem had convinced the party to
hold their rally at a free-speech
plaza in Chicago, and on July 9,
1978, the party held its demonstra
tion.
“You set a goal and try to find a
way to stop this thing,” Salem
said.
Jane Gardner, assistant dean of
the Knight Law Center, said she
hopes law students can take a look
at the situation that occurred and
apply what they know to the fu
ture.
“This case raises a lot of ques
tions about constitutional law,”
she said.
