Kaufman, best known for deeply wacky scripts like \u201cBeing John Malkovich,\u201d agreed. But he wasn\u2019t interested in making the kind of paint-by-numbers movie for teenagers that appears to take place in another dimension. Instead, he\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aintitcool.com\/node\/38895\">later said<\/a>, he wanted to make a horror film for adults, \u201cabout things that are scary in the real world, and in our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I can attest that Kaufman succeeded. In fact, I found \u201cSynecdoche, New York\u201d so frightening that I\u2019ll never watch it again. Slasher movies like \u201cFriday the 13th\u201d and its\u00a011 sequels are ultimately pleasurable \u2014 they end and you wake up from the dream buzzing with the adrenaline evolution gives you to escape predators, yet realize you are not in fact being stalked by Jason Voorhees. But when \u201cSynecdoche, New York\u201d is over and the lights come up, you understand that what was hunting its characters is hunting you too, outside the theater, in reality.<\/p>\n<p>No other movie had ever given me the same jolt of pure dread until I saw the new Field of Vision documentary \u201cA Night at the Garden,\u201d directed by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.marshallcurry.com\/\">Marshall Curry<\/a>. (<a href=\"https:\/\/fieldofvision.org\/\">Field of Vision<\/a>\u00a0is a division of First Look Media, as is The Intercept.)<\/p>\n<p>Curry\u2019s film, watchable above, is just six minutes long, and is a tiny masterpiece. It should be taught in history and filmmaking courses, as well as in classes about human psychology.<\/p>\n<p>On its surface, it\u2019s simply about a rally held by the German-American Bund in February 1939 at the old Madison Square Garden at Eighth Avenue and 50th\u00a0Street in Manhattan.<\/p>\n<p>The Bund \u2013 meaning \u201cfederation\u201d \u2013 never metastasized to any appreciable size. Estimates vary, but its dues-paying membership did not top 25,000. However, it was allied with the Christian Front, an organization inspired by the notorious anti-Semitic demagogue Father Charles Coughlin. Tens of millions of Americans tuned into Coughlin\u2019s weekly radio show;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=rCZ7ALPnyikC&amp;lpg=PP1&amp;dq=%22Less%20care%20for%20internationalism%20and%20more%20concern%20for%20national%20prosperity%22%20speech%20coughlin&amp;pg=PA152#v=onepage&amp;q=%22national%20prosperity%22&amp;f=false\">one of his slogans<\/a>\u00a0was\u00a0\u201cLess care for internationalism and more concern for national prosperity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Christian Front helped turn out a capacity crowd of almost 20,000 people. It\u2019s particularly notable that this was possible in New York, then as now a symbol of liberalism, and suggests both organizations\u00a0enjoyed significant passive local support far beyond those who attended.<\/p>\n<p>The marquee outside reads that it is a \u201cPro American Rally\u201d \u2014 to be followed the next day by the Rangers playing the Detroit Red Wings, and the day after that by Fordham facing Pittsburgh in college basketball. The night begins with marchers filing in with dozens of American flags and then standing before a huge backdrop of George Washington.<\/p>\n<p>The main speaker is Fritz Kuhn, a naturalized German immigrant and head of the Bund. On the one hand, everything about him screams that he\u2019s a buffoon and a grifter. He declares they are there \u201cto demand that our government shall be returned to the American people who founded it\u201d in a heavy accent that makes him sound exactly like\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vlmGknvr_Pg&amp;t=1m23s\">Adolf Hilter<\/a>. Even Nazi Germany\u2019s ambassador to the U.S. found Kuhn\u00a0embarrassing, once describing him as \u201cstupid, noisy, and absurd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But on the other hand, no one in the\u00a0Garden seems to notice or care. To the crowd\u2019s delighted laughter, Kuhn speaks about how \u201cthe Jewish-controlled press\u201d continually lies about him, depicting him as \u201ca creature with horns, a cloven hoof, and a long tail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/politics\/wp\/2017\/10\/17\/when-american-nazis-rallied-in-manhattan-one-working-class-jewish-man-from-brooklyn-took-them-on\/?utm_term=.4edb779aadce\">one man<\/a>, 26-year-old Isadore Greenbaum, rushes the stage.\u00a0Kuhn\u2019s uniformed minions\u00a0immediately seize and beat him. At some point, as the New York police grab Greenbaum and hustle him offstage, his pants are pulled down. Kuhn smirks, and the audience erupts in glee.<\/p>\n<p>The movie\u00a0ends with a soprano trilling\u00a0the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2016\/09\/13\/more-proof-the-u-s-national-anthem-has-always-been-tainted-with-racism\/\">Star-Spangled Banner<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next day the New York Times\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/query.nytimes.com\/mem\/archive-free\/pdf?res=9D05E6DF1439E03ABC4A51DFB4668382629EDE\">reported<\/a>\u00a0that the Bund had raised almost $8,500, the equivalent of about $150,000 now. Later that year Kuhn was convicted of embezzling all that and more \u2014 $250,000 in today\u2019s money \u2014 from his devoted followers.<\/p>\n<p>The Times article quotes leftist protesters claiming that they \u201cwere trampled by mounted police and brutally beaten by uniformed and plainclothes policemen\u201d outside the Garden. A retired colonel complained that the costumes of many of the Bund men \u201cwould mislead the people\u201d that they were \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2017\/aug\/15\/charlottesville-militia-security-gear-uniforms\">wearing a part of the United States uniform<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the Times notes, the journalist Dorothy Thompson was present, and at one point was temporarily\u00a0evicted for laughing. Years before, Thompson had been the Berlin bureau chief for the New York Post, and covered the rise of fascism before she was expelled from Germany in 1934. At the time of the Bund rally, she was married to Sinclair Lewis, who wrote \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/01\/17\/books\/review\/classic-novel-that-predicted-trump-sinclar-lewis-it-cant-happen-here.html?_r=0\">It Can\u2019t Happen Here<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Several years after the events of \u201cA Night at the Garden,\u201d Thompson contributed a famed article to Harper\u2019s Magazine called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/harpers.org\/archive\/1941\/08\/who-goes-nazi\/\">Who Goes Nazi?<\/a>\u201d In it she describes a \u201cmacabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one\u2019s acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi. By now, I think I know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNazism,\u201d Thompson said, \u201chas nothing to do with race and nationality. It appeals to a certain type of mind. \u2026 The frustrated and humiliated intellectual, the rich and scared speculator, the spoiled son, the labor tyrant, the fellow who has achieved success by smelling out the wind of success \u2014 they would all go Nazi.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"img-wrap align-center width-fixed\">\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\"><em>Marshall Curry discusses his film \u2018A Night at the Garden\u2019 at NYFF Live \u2013 Field of Vision Presents during the 55th New York Film Festival at Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center on October 10, 2017 in New York City<\/em>.\u00a0 <em>Photo: Dia Dipasupil\/Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Curry learned about the Bund rally six months ago from a friend writing a screenplay that takes place in 1939. At first, he says, he was incredulous, because he was sure that if there had been an enormous rally of American Nazis in the middle of New York City, \u201cI definitely would have heard about that.\u201dBut it had happened. It had simply dropped out of history. Curry found previous documentaries that used short snippets of film from that night, and engaged archival researcher\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.atlasfilms.org\/\">Rich Remsberg<\/a>\u00a0to try to locate\u00a0more.<\/p>\n<p>Remsberg found\u00a0footage scattered across the country, including at the National Archives and UCLA. There were two remarkable things about it. First, it was 35 mm, rather than the standard 16 or 8 mm for newsreels, so the images are surprisingly high-quality. Second, everything captured inside Madison Square Garden appears to have been shot by the Bund itself. The staging is done so skillfully it seems certain they had studied Nazi Germany\u2019s cinematography.<\/p>\n<p>Curry took the footage and used it to assemble a film that is crafty in the extreme. There are no talking head historians or narration to tell you what to feel. Instead, it leaves you with the space to decide how to feel about it for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Most notably, there is no mention of the present day\u00a0United States. \u201cRegular, nonpolitically minded Americans who watch it,\u201d Curry hopes, \u201cwill become a tiny bit more aware of the way that, throughout history, demagogues [have] used sarcasm and humor and mob violence to whip up audiences that were otherwise decent people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In particular, he points to a pan\u00a0of the roaring crowd after Greenbaum has been attacked and degraded: \u201cYou can see thousands of people who are in suits and dresses and hats who were probably nice to their neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><u>PERHAPS\u00a0THE CENTRAL<\/u>\u00a0moment of \u201cA Night at the Garden\u201d is a shot of a young uniformed boy on stage. He is maybe\u00a08 years old, and part of the Bund youth; he appears smaller and slighter than the others. As the crowd humiliates Greenbaum\u00a0and drags him away, the boy looks around for affirmation that he is not alone. Then he does a joyful jig, rubs his hands together, and performs his dance again.<\/p>\n<p>This is a\u00a0ferocious, simian exhilaration that can only be felt by someone who is emotionally a child. But there are always many chronological adults waiting for someone to give them permission to lay\u00a0down the burden of an individual adult\u2019s consciousness.\u00a0To tell them: We\u2019ve located the culprits causing all your frustration and pain. They look like us, like humans, but they\u2019re not. They\u2019re wearing a disguise. Dissolve with us into this howling mass of protoplasm, and you will be responsible for nothing.<\/p>\n<p>This has happened, at various scales, innumerable times in our species\u2019 history. It\u2019s more profoundly a part\u00a0of us than anything we think of as \u201cpolitics.\u201d Nazism and fascism are just the names we\u2019ve given to the better organization and production values made possible by modern technology.<\/p>\n<p>However, for this potential to come to fruition requires specific people making specific decisions at specific times. The title card in \u201cA Night at the Garden\u201d informs us this was February 20, 1939.<\/p>\n<p>When I saw that date, I felt a small tug\u00a0in my brain. Something else had happened the\u00a0same day. What was it?<\/p>\n<p>I looked through \u201cThe Rise and Fall of the Third Reich,\u201d and online World War II timelines, but could not find what I was looking for. I went on a long walk and tried unsuccessfully to figure it out. For 48 hours, I experienced the unpleasant sensation everyone has at some point: that you\u2019ve forgotten something important, and won\u2019t remember until it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n<p>What was it?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"PhotoGrid PhotoGrid--2-column PhotoGrid--xtra-large\" data-reactid=\".ti.1.0.1.2.0.0.1.0.4.$photo-grid-1\">\n<div class=\"PhotoGrid-rows\" data-reactid=\".ti.1.0.1.2.0.0.1.0.4.$photo-grid-1.0\">\n<div class=\"PhotoGrid-row PhotoGrid-row--2-of-2\" data-reactid=\".ti.1.0.1.2.0.0.1.0.4.$photo-grid-1.0.0\">\n<div class=\"PhotoGrid-cell PhotoGrid-cell--1\" data-reactid=\".ti.1.0.1.2.0.0.1.0.4.$photo-grid-1.0.0.0\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"PhotoGrid-photo\" src=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/wp-uploads\/sites\/1\/2017\/10\/Lilly-Schwarz-to-Charles-Schwarz-1-1508960809-1000x1353.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-reactid=\".ti.1.0.1.2.0.0.1.0.4.$photo-grid-1.0.0.0.0\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"PhotoGrid-cell PhotoGrid-cell--2\" data-reactid=\".ti.1.0.1.2.0.0.1.0.4.$photo-grid-1.0.0.1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"PhotoGrid-photo\" src=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/wp-uploads\/sites\/1\/2017\/10\/Lilly-Schwarz-to-Charles-Schwarz-2-1508958840-1000x1353.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-reactid=\".ti.1.0.1.2.0.0.1.0.4.$photo-grid-1.0.0.1.0\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-reactid=\".ti.1.0.1.2.0.0.1.0.4.$p-2\">\n<p><u>WHILE I AM<\/u>\u00a0not Jewish, my father\u2019s father was. His family came to the U.S. from Germany in the late 1800s and settled in Chicago, where he was born. After he married my grandmother, they eventually ended up in Washington, D.C. But he still had relatives in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>For almost\u00a080 years my family has saved a letter my grandfather received from his cousin Lilly Schwarz in D\u00fcsseldorf. My aunt, my father\u2019s sister, is its current custodian. Even in 2017, its careful lettering exudes terror:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>My dear Charles!<\/p>\n<p>Finally I have got the address of you and will write at once. I think you will be informed by your mother about our worst things. \u2026 Now we have to wait till our number will be called up by the American Consulat in St\u00fcttgart and that will take one or one and a half years.\u00a0I am trying to emigrate for my waiting-time to England because one cannot stand all the things here.\u00a0Have you or any of your friends, any acquaintances in England? Please if yes do me the favor and let me know the addresses. The only possibility to emigrate there is to have a job as a house-maid and then the Home-Office will give the permission to come and to work. \u2026<\/p>\n<p>I am interested in your personal things. Dear Aunt Helen wrote me you have a fine place in the treasury department. I can imagine that you are very busied and that this work is very satisfying. What about your wife and your little baby? I hope you are all in best health.\u00a0\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Have you any idea or advice how to arrange our emigration quicker? By the way have you any connection to the government? I am supposing Washington as the seat of the government is the first town to experience the newest things. We all are expecting that the new conditions concerning the Jewish emigration will be published very shortly. You all cannot imagine how desperat the Jews are.<\/p>\n<p>Is my English very funny? I am able to read English books and news-papers and I understand every word at any case always the same. I am studying the English language every free minute and have learned this winter English shorthand and know typewriting.<\/p>\n<p>Please let us have a soon answer.<\/p>\n<p>With many greets and much love to you all,<\/p>\n<p>I remain<br \/>\nyour cousin<br \/>\nLilly<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The tug inside my head urged me to find this letter, so I searched through old email until I finally found a transcript. Then I looked at the first line.<\/p>\n<div class=\"img-wrap align-center width-fixed\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Lilly was 33 years old when she wrote to my grandfather. She was being stalked by a beast, and believed if she could make it to America she would be safe.<\/p>\n<p>But she didn\u2019t get here. The beast ate her. Two years later in October 1941 she was deported to the Minsk ghetto in Belarus,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/yvng.yadvashem.org\/nameDetails.html?language=en&amp;s_lastName=schwarz&amp;s_firstName=lilly&amp;s_place=&amp;itemId=11630625&amp;ind=93&amp;winId=-5355902423957079300\">where she died<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When I saw the date on Lilly\u2019s letter, I experienced a physical reaction I\u2019d never felt before. It rippled through my body, from my head down to my toes and back again. On that day, she was more than a decade younger than I am now. She did not know that the beast hunting her was waiting in the United States too, just drowsing \u2014 and that at the exact moment she was writing her hopeless plea, tens of thousands of cheering, ordinary, banal Americans were trying to wake it up.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why \u201cA Night at the Garden\u201d is a movie of true horror. It\u2019s over in six minutes, but your fear will continue. You will realize\u00a0that the beast is everywhere, because we take it with us wherever we go.<\/p>\n<p>In most places, at most times, the beast is in hibernation. Many white Americans believe that\u2019s always been the case here, although\u00a0everyone who\u2019s not white knows it\u2019s stumbled about groggily for much of U.S. history. Still, it\u2019s never quite reached full consciousness. And societies must roll snake eyes 10 times in a row for it to come to complete waking fury. As of this moment we\u2019ve gotten maybe only four bad rolls, so the odds of it happening in the U.S. remain quite low. But I\u2019ve learned for sure in the past year that they\u2019re still higher than I ever imagined. On certain days, we can see the beast\u2019s eyelids fluttering.<\/p>\n<p>Because I feel such a strong sense of Lilly from her letter, I\u2019ve sometimes imagined meeting her somehow on another plane of existence. I\u2019d like to be able to tell my cousin twice-removed that her suffering meant something to us, that we learned from it, and did everything we could to keep the beast anesthetized.
