University of Liverpool historian Dr Roland Clark and Professor Tim Grady (University of Chester) are pleased to announce a new temporary exhibition at the Wiener Holocaust Library, This Fascist Life: Radical Right Movements in Interwar Europe.

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. "If we are really serious about combatting extremism we need to understand what it was like for people to be members of fascist movements", Dr Clark commented. The exhibition is part of a research project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) on European Fascist Movements, 1918-1941. In addition to the physical exhibition, it includes a series of online and in-person talks and a one-day conference on the contemporary radical right.
