  • Harry Warner Lighter Elyse
    Episode 204 - Story 2: Harry Warner Lighter Elyse: This story could reveal an unusual connection between a famous Hollywood movie producer and the propaganda machine of the Third Reich. Itʼs 1939. Nazi aggression is tearing the world apart. In Germany, anti-Semitic films are being produced on the sound stages of UFA, the once great film studio that's now controlled by Hitler. Some sixty years later, a man in California has an antique lighter engraved with the UFA company logo. What he doesn't understand is why the other side of the lighter bears the name Harry Warner, legendary Hollywood film mogul and immigrant Jew. What could possibly be the connection? The lighter is the proud possession of Robert Galant of Riverside, California. He found it at a flea market and was immediately intrigued. Robert Galant: I noticed that it had "Germany" on it, so I know it's a German lighter. Then I saw the name on there, "UFA;" it's pronounced "oofa." I knew this was during the time when Hitler was taking over UFA, using it for his propaganda machine for the military. On the other side of the lighter it had a name actually engraved on it, and I said, "oh, Harry Warner, maybe of Warner brothers." I started thinking, hey; wait a minute, what is this? Whatʼs the connection here? Elyse: Iʼm Elyse Luray. Iʼve come to Los Angeles, California, the moviemaking capital of the world, to investigate a true Hollywood mystery. Ah, this must be the lighter. Robert Galant: That's it. Elyse: Wow, it's in such good condition.

LaSalle Street • Chicago, Illinois 60602 www.cityofchicago.org • @chicagosmayor Dear Fellow Chicagoans, Chicago’s remarkable pedestrian streets make our city a place where people want to live, work and play. The pedestrian experience is critical to the city and its future. From the hundreds of thousands of people that walk in the Loop every day, to the millions of riders of our trains and buses, to the bustling activity in our neighborhood commercial corridors, the safety of pedestrians has always been a building block to the city’s success. We are committed to protecting these vital users of our transportation system; safe, pedestrian-friendly streets are a priority for my administration. We will create a culture of safety and respect by addressing street design and behavior through education, engineering and enforcement. Pedestrians are vital to both the economic and physical health of Chicago. Building more and better pedestrian spaces will help businesses grow and encourage further development of our workforce for those who want to live in a walkable, transit- friendly city. Additionally, by encouraging more people to walk, we can improve our collective health and quality of life. I am excited about the action steps identified in the Chicago Pedestrian Plan. This comprehensive agenda addresses all aspects of the city’s pedestrian experience.
