<p>Was there ever a Nazi neighborhood in Chicago? In this <a href="http://interactive.wbez.org/curiouscity/chicagonazineighborhood/" target="">special Curious City mini-documentary and online presentation (complete with archival photos and video)</a>, we tell the story of how an infamous neo-Nazi group settled in the Marquette Park neighborhood and used it as a home base to gain attention and promote its political agenda. The story of the group’s rise and fall on Chicago’s Southwest Side raises questions about the extent of free speech and how mainstream racism in any neighborhood can encourage hate groups. &nbsp;<!--EndFragment--><br><br><br></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CuriousCityPodcast/~4/NP6-ffAHp5Y" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>
