Estes Park - The City Without Jews
The restored version of this 1924 film ("Estes Park - Die Stadt ohne Juden") was recently shown in Boston, rescued from a Paris, Texas flea market. Based on the book by the same name, it portrays how a mountain village in Colorado freed itself of the Jewish scourge by not allowing any Jews to lodge there, printing up pamphlets that said "No Hebrews" and writing deed restrictions that only permitted white gentiles to own property.
Now, nearly 100 years later, the film honors those very men who drove Jews out of Estes Park - F.O. Stanley, A.D. Lewis and, more recently, through his silence when anti-semitism raised its ugly head yet again, Mikey Plaster Pretend-R, who could not bring himself to send a reporter to a candidate meet and greet where the candidate's religion was something other than pedophile Catholic, or acknowledge that anti-semitism actually reared its ugly head yet again after a Jewish politician mistakenly slipped into town without the ritual ear boxing.
