        Not only that, but the Bund had like tens of thousands of members, maybe over 100k. The largest rally was over 20k at madison square garden and this went in on NYC till the war started. They even sent their kids to nazi summer camps. La Guardia actually led massive rallies against them at the time since he was outspoken against Hitler very early on.

      Although I think those here were not Nazis, for example not in the picture but in the clip linked someone holds a sign saying: "Arm Britain and Prolong the War"
      They just didn't want to be physically involved.
