Antifascist

Pilar grew up with a secular and antifascist education.

George Orwell was a violent antifascist.

Jews owe our lives to the violent antifascist resistance of our grandparents.

Members of the Jewish Antifascist Committee were arrested and executed for wanting to rebuild the Jewish people and Jewish culture after the Holocaust.

Yanni was clearly an antifascist.

Stalin killed the members of the Jewish Antifascist Committee.

Subsequently, the GDR’s antifascist tradition would be diluted, distorted, and refashioned into an ahistorical national origins myth in which the citizens of East Germany were officially proclaimed the “victors of history,” but where little space remained for the real and complicated history, not to mention ambivalent role of Stalinized Communism, behind it.

After the AA/BO split in 2001, Antifas continued to work locally and regionally as dedicated networks of antifascists opposing far-right demonstrations and gatherings, though many also take up other left-wing issues and causes.
