In 1955, a wanted Nazi collaborator appeared at the Bandung Conference to help birth the post-colonial world. Read how sectarian hatred was rebranded as anti-imperialism—from Cairo to the Soviet bloc and the UN. leadenskies.substack.com/p/nazi-roots... #History #AntiFascism

Black and white historical photograph from the 1955 Bandung Conference. It shows Haj Amin al-Husseini, the former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, wearing a white-wrapped tarboosh and black robes with Zhou Enlai, the Premier of the People's Republic of China. They are surrounded by other delegates in a crowded room, marking the symbolic entry of the Mufti into the nascent non-aligned movement.

“The Nazis did not gas enough Jews.” In 1957, Ludwig Zind’s rant in a bar sparked a national crisis in West Germany. It led to a Nazi safehouse in Cairo, and a a 12-year flight from justice. The full account of the Zind scandal: leadenskies.substack.com/p/ludwig-zin...

A black and white photograph of Ludwig Zind during his 1958 trial in West Germany. He is dressed in a suit, pointing his finger with a rigid, "ramrod-erect" posture, a Hitler-style toothbrush moustache and a duelling scar on his cheek.

What do you think of when Woody Guthrie comes to mind? The Dust Bowl Ballads? An iconic rambling Okie who sums up a slice of America? His song “This Land is Your Land”? Or his labour movement songs like “Union Maid”? #woodyguthrie Link to my latest Substack article in next post
