SUMMARY:Exhibition Launch: This Fascist Life: Radical Right Movements in Interwar Europe
DESCRIPTION:Supporter of the British Union of Fascists\, c. 1930s. Wiener Holocaust Library Collections. \nJoin 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. \nDrawing 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. \nToday\, 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. \nWith contributions by Dr Roland Clark\, co-curator of the exhibition. More speakers are to be announced.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Talk: A Fascist Insurrection in Paris: 6 February 1934.
DESCRIPTION:A fascist insurrection taking place in Paris\, 6 February 1934. \nPart of the Library’s This Fascist Life: Radical Right Movements in Interwar Europe event series. \nOn 6 February 1934\, thousands of extreme right-wing activists and war veterans gathered in Paris to protest against the alleged corruption of the left-wing government. The demonstration soon turned violent as protesters attempted to force their way into parliament. Over a dozen deaths resulted when police opened fire on the crowd\, eventually putting an end to the riot. For the French extreme right\, 6 February 1934 was a turning point\, after which hundreds of thousands of French joined anti-democratic movements. For left-wingers\, France had narrowly escaped a fascist seizure of power and the time had come to form a united front against French fascism. \nIn this lecture\, Dr Chris Millington will explore the origins and consequences of the violence\, including the various fascist movements in French politics. He will also draw comparisons with contemporary political events and examine what lessons might be learned. \nAbout the speaker: \nChris Millington is Reader in Modern European History at Manchester Metropolitan University. He has written extensively on the history of the French extreme right and violence. His publications include Le Massacre de Clichy (2021)\, France in the Second World War (2020) and A History of Fascism in France (2019). \nCOVID-19 Notice \nPlease note that attendee numbers have been capped below full capacity for this event. \nIn order to keep everybody safe\, attendees are encouraged to take a lateral flow test before arriving\, check-in via the NHS Covid-19 App\, and wear a mask whilst inside the Library. \nPlease use the hand sanitisers available throughout the building. To improve ventilation\, windows will be opened by staff\, including in cooler weather. \nWe continue to closely monitor the situation with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic\, and as such\, our regulations are under constant review and might change at short notice. The safety and wellbeing of all our staff and visitors are of paramount importance and we thank you for your patience and understanding.
