Exhibition Launch: This Fascist Life: Radical Right Movements in Interwar Europe
October 6, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Supporter of the British Union of Fascists, c. 1930s. Wiener Holocaust Library Collections.
Join The Wiener Holocaust Library for the launch of our new exhibition, This Fascist Life: Radical Right Movements in Interwar Europe, produced with the European Fascist Movements 1918 – 1941 project.
Drawing upon The Wiener Holocaust Library’s unique archival collections, first assembled in the 1930s by Dr Alfred Wiener as part of his fight against fascism, as well as the expertise of an international group of experts in interwar fascism, this exhibition focuses on the experiences of rank-and-file members of fascist movements in the interwar period. It explores the world of the young and socially diverse fascist activists and examines their motivations and activities.
Today, as extreme right-wing radicalism grows in strength in Europe and elsewhere, this timely exhibition looks back to the first manifestations of the destructive phenomenon of fascism.
With contributions by Dr Roland Clark, co-curator of the exhibition. More speakers are to be announced.
