Almost two years before the United States entered World War II, an Irish Catholic group known as the Christian Front was hosting Nazis in the heart of Boston. Join us to learn what Bostonians at the time knew about the Christian Front’s efforts to foment antisemitism and Nazi sympathy in the Catholic community.
Americans and the Nazi Threat, a new educational initiative created in conjunction with the Holocaust Museum's upcoming 25th anniversary, explores the full range of American responses to Nazism.
