Daniel Tilles, a PhD student in history at Royal Holloway, University of London, has co-edited a new collection of articles, Fascism and the Jews: Italy and Britain (Vallentine Mitchell, 2011).
Through comparative examination of the use of antisemitism by fascists in Britain and Italy between the wars, the book seeks to unravel some of the complexities of the relationship between fascism and antisemitism, as well of Jewish attitudes towards and experiences of fascism in the two countries.
Recently, Tilles answered the questions of SEN’s web team. His responses are below.
