Danger, Fascists at Work

Danger - Fascists at Work poster
Description

This pamphlet was produced in the late 1940s by the 43 Group. Following World War II, Jewish servicemen returned home to find fascists preaching antisemitism on British streets. They formed the 43 Group, which combined political campaigning with a willingness to use physical violence to break up fascist meetings.

The contents of the pamphlet includes an open letter to the Jewish community, an introduction to fascism, a list of current fascist organisations, the history of the group, its aims and objectives and a form to apply to join the group.

By 1950 fascism had all but disappeared from the streets and the group disbanded.
