From the Holocaust to public hangings
Join us for a discussion evening with Giacomo Lichtner, Associate Professor of History at Vic Uni.
Theslogans at the protest at Parliament earlier this year were sometimes
frightening. On the one hand a public vaccination campaign was compared
to the holocaust, on the other hand Jacinda was labelled ‘a Jew’,
resulting in demands for public lynchings. It seems the imagery of
Europe’s fascism of the 20th century is fair game for anyone to use.
Exactly
one hundred years after the Italian establishment allowed Mussolini to
become Prime Minister we want to discuss why so few people seem to be
worried about the rise of far-right groups.
Giacomo Lichtner will give an introduction on the subject, followed by discussion.
