My photo essay is entitled, "A Day in the Face of Evil." Why the dramatic title, you ask? Well, for my WISN 12 internship I went to a Nazi meeting that I found out about. It was incredibly disturbing, to say the least. I mean, it's one thing to hear about these kinds of beliefs, but it's quite another to see it in person and actually hearing it said right to your face. They called themselves the National Socialist Movement, and they actually have their headquarters in Minnesota. They had about 30 people at the meeting, and they had speakers from as far away as Kentucky. Also, an 88-year old man named Theodore Junker was there, who was recently in the news for building a memorial to Hitler at his home. The whole time I confess I was at a bit of a loss for words, and I was incredibly relieved when it was over. The picture shown here is one of the first I took, when I first arrived at the building where the meeting was.
