    ANDOVER, NJ AND THE BUND

    CAMP NORDLAND, at the tip of LAKE ILIFF, whose shores were the overnight camping ground of Indians on their trips to the coast. Signs indicate the Einfahrt (entrance) to the camp and the way zu dern Jungendlager (to the children's camp). Behind the long, single-story, yellow frame RECREATION HALL with its squat clock tower is the parade ground where disciplined uniformed troops, their arms outstretched in the Nazi salute, marched in review formation to celebrate the opening of the camp during the summer of 1937. In the recreation hall is a large picture of Hitler with a list of contributors to the camp fund below it and the slogan, Auch dein Nagel hilft dem Bau (Your nail, too, helps the building). Several of the larger New Jersey papers vigorously condemned the camp.
