In this installment of a series on freedom of expression, I will discuss the lawsuit, Greenberg v. the City of Ballwin. Lewis Greenberg, a local home owner created a piece of art in his front yard called The Holocaust Revisited. Greenberg began this piece 3 years ago to honor the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
Greenberg's neighbors call the six-foot Star of David, aluminum globes, and Israeli flags covering Greenberg's property a safety hazard and an eyesore that is draining the property value of the neighborhood.
After several months of fighting this battle in local courts, Greenberg is now going to the Supreme court to fight for the right to keep his art just the way it is.
