    Film Provenance
    The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum purchased this from the National Archives and Records Administration in September 1994.
    Note
    Outtake from edited March of Time story "Peace by Adolf Hitler".

    USHMM historians suspect that the protest march has been staged for the March of Time camera. People appear to pose for the camera, speeding up to get into the frame and practicing. There were quite a number of anti-interventionist groups on the left and the right at the time. However, the only references to the "American Union for Organization Against War" relate to this film, and the "organization" does not show up in any of the literature of isolationist groups from the period.
