‘Greatest generation’ is fading, but it’s still got choice words for our own

Remember the greatest generation? The ones that beat back the Nazis? Recently I sat down with two of them, to talk about everyday persistence, about stability, about things that abide. But we weren’t five minutes in when it veered in the exact opposite direction — to the rise of neo-Nazis in the news today, the demagoguery of a certain president and to an eerily familiar chill . “I remember back in the ’30s and ’40s, it was like people were hypnotized,” says Wilma Matz, 93. “I worry all the time it might be happening again.” Most Read Stories Unlimited Digital Access. $1 for 4 weeks. Numerically speaking, Wilma and Harold Matz are rarer around here than the endangered northern spotted owl . At 95, Harold is a World War II vet , a medical technician who pulled the maimed off the line of the war’s bloodiest fight, the Battle of the Bulge. All but 3 percent of his 16 million mates who beat back fascism are gone. The greatest generation has dwindled to just 0.2 percent of the American po...

Nazi resurgence alarms Minnesota World War II veterans, Holocaust survivors

See more of the story As a young P-47 Thunderbolt pilot in World War II, Bill Schleppegrell flew more than a dozen combat missions in Europe before he was shot down by Nazis and imprisoned for the final months of conflict. Echoes of that long-ago life are sounding again as Schleppegrell sees Nazi symbols and chants being invoked by a resurgent white supremacy movement that recently took to the streets of Charlottesville, Va. “I’ve seen this coming,” said the 93-year-old former Hibbing High school teacher . That same unease is gripping Holocaust survivor Judith Meisel of St. Louis Park. After Charlottesville, she couldn’t sleep because she was so upset by the images of KKK hoods and Nazi flags. “I’m back in Germany,” she said. “This is something that is unbelievable.” In the aftermath of the melee in Virginia, many political, religious and business leaders in Minnesota and across the country have responded with outrage and condemnation. But no one may be feeling more anger and fear...

Toll Brothers tears down an office to build apartments on Harrison's Platinum Mile

This demolition of a three- story office building on Corporate Park Drive began this week, making way for a 421- unit apartment complex to be built by the Toll Brothers and its partner Normandy Real Estate Partners . The five- story luxury rental community named Carraway will be the first residential project on Harrison’s Platinum Mile — an area previously dominated by — you guessed it! — corporate headquarters . Harrison has been searching for new uses for its excess stock of office buildings as corporations have moved away. “It’s a slow process, but we’re moving,” Harrison Mayor Ron Belmont told the Westchester Business Journal . “We’re taking the local rather than the express.” The building is expected to welcome its first tenants in 2019. [WBJ]
