resettlement project. Confronting David Duke In June 1989, Levy confronted newly elected Louisiana House Representative David Duke at the opening of a Holocaust exhibition in the rotunda of the Louisiana State Capitol. Because the opening was also a press event, her confrontation was caught on camera and replayed on television. Elizabeth Rickey, a member of the Republican State Central Committee from New Orleans, credited Anne Levy as her inspiration in holding a press conference showing the Neo-Nazi books that she had purchased from Duke's Metairie legislative office. Rickey said, "I started dragging my feet… and I was a little afraid of Duke as well, but then I thought if Anne Levy has got the guts to walk up to that man and ask him why he said the Holocaust never happened, I certainly could summon the courage to expose his Nazi book-selling operation… I want to back her up.” Levy used her story to continuously confront Duke in his run for senate against J. Bennett Johnston in 1990 and again when Duke ran for governor against Edwin Edwards in 1991.
