AbstractThis article considers the extent to which the Holocaust galvanized British antifascism in the 1960s. It explores whether the genocide surfaced in Jewish antifascists’ motivations and rhetoric but goes beyond this to assess the Holocaust’s political capital in wider antifascism and anti-racism. The article considers whether political coalitions were negotiated around Holocaust memory, for example, by analysing whether Jewish antifascism intersected with the black and Asian communities of Smethwick and Southall respectively who were targeted by the far right in 1964. Using archival materials and newly-collected oral histories, the article surveys organisations including the Jewish Board of Deputies, the 62 Group, Yellow Star Movement and Searchlight newspaper. It will argue that the Holocaust played a more important role in 1960s’antifascism than has been recognised. Jewish groups fragmented around the lessons of the genocide for their antifascism. The Holocaust influenced race relations legislation and became a metonym for extreme racist violence.

“以某种方式让他们自己回到希特勒身上”：英国的反法西斯主义和大屠杀，1960-1967

摘要本文探讨了 1960 年代大屠杀激起英国反法西斯主义的程度。它探讨了种族灭绝是否在犹太反法西斯主义者的动机和言论中浮出水面，但超越了这一点，以评估大屠杀在更广泛的反法西斯主义和反种族主义中的政治资本。文章考虑了政治联盟是否是围绕大屠杀记忆进行谈判的，例如，通过分析犹太反法西斯主义是否与分别在 1964 年被极右翼攻击的黑人和亚裔社区 Smethwick 和 Southall 相交。使用档案材料和新收集的口头历史，这篇文章调查了包括犹太人代表委员会、62 集团、黄星运动和探照灯报在内的组织。它将争辩说，大屠杀在 1960 年代的反法西斯主义中所起的作用比人们所认识到的更为重要。犹太团体因反法西斯主义而围绕种族灭绝的教训四分五裂。大屠杀影响了种族关系立法，并成为极端种族主义暴力的代名词。
