Jews march in Chicago to protest against Nazis in Germany.

Jewish demonstrators march across a bridge, in Chicago, carrying signs and banners denouncing the Nazis in Germany. The bridge crosses over a railroad. Many cars move on opposite lane from marchers. Several buses drive slowly past them. A brass band (not playing) accompanies them. Several marchers carry a large banner reading: "Hitler's Henchman Goebels must not greet the Century of Progress." The marchers move and assemble at Congress Plaza near Grant Park. A statue of an American Indian on horseback is seen. A municipal flag on a pole towering over the assembly contains the words: "Chicago 1933" against a backdrop symbol of the World's Fair.
