Organisers of exhibition on history of British fascism say parallels can be drawn with current far-right thinking
A surge in Covid-19 conspiracy theories risks boosting antisemitism, hate crime campaigners have warned after the opening of a new exhibition shedding light on interwar British fascism and its parallels today.
The Wiener Holocaust Library in London is staging the exhibition – focusing on the motivations and propaganda of British fascists and their European peers in the 20s and 30s – out of concern about the recent growth of far-right ideas and populism in the UK and abroad.
