  • Neville Laski, Anglo-Jewry and the crises of the 1930s

    Daniel TillesARTICLEPatterns of Prejudice2019

    Neville Laski, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews from 1932 to 1939, led Anglo-Jewry through the most challenging period in its modern history. Internally, the community was deeply divided, with half a century of mass immigration placing great strain on its pre-existing structures and institutions, and particularly the traditional elites who controlled them. Externally, it faced the unprecedented threat of an emerging domestic fas…

  • British Fascist Antisemitism and Jewish Responses, 1932–40

    Daniel TillesBOOKBritish Fascist Antisemitism and…2015

    This book explores the use of antisemitism by Britain’s interwar fascists and the ways in which the country’s Jews reacted to this, examining the two alongside one another for the first time and locating both within the broader context of contemporary events in Europe. Daniel Tilles challenges existing conceptions of the antisemitism of Britain’s foremost fascist organisation, the British Union of Fascists. He demonstrates that it was a far more …

  • Uniting a Divided Community? Re-appraising Jewish Responses to British Fascist Antisemitism, 1932-39

    Nigel Copsey, Daniel TillesARTICLEHolocaust Studies2009References: 2

    Traditionally, work on Anglo-Jewish responses to British fascism has concentrated on its ‘working-class’, activist manifestations, particularly in east London over the period 1935-37, when Jews were prominently involved in confronting the British Union of Fascists. Such a focus has neglected other forms of Jewish activity, and this study examines two such aspects — early responses in the period up to 1935, and the defence work of the Board of Dep…

  • Bullies or Victims? A Study of British Union of Fascists Violence

    Daniel TillesARTICLETotalitarian Movements &…2006

    Sir Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists became surrounded by violence in the 1930s, clashing regularly with anti‐fascist and Jewish opponents, and often being blamed by contemporaries for provoking and initiating much of this conflict. This study uses government files from the period to analyse the clashes taking place, as well as evidence from newspapers and fascist publications in order to observe how these events were perceived at the ti…
