Internationalist Commemoration Series, Part I: 🚩 Lecture and discussion
The fight against fascism began in Spain!
The defence of the Second Spanish Republic from 1936 to 1939 against the violent coup was the first organised attempt by a government and civil society in a single country to jointly halt the threat of fascism in Europe.
Thousands of people from many parts of the world rushed to the aid of Republican Spain and joined the anti-fascist struggle in the International Brigades.
Among them were around 3,000 people from Germany.
Some were already there when the coup broke out, as the Workers’ Olympics were due to take place at that time.
Many were fleeing the fascists who had been rampaging in their homeland since 1933 and saw an opportunity to continue the fight in Spain.
Others set out from Germany because it seemed the right thing to do in that historic situation.
All of them risked their lives in those days; many did not return.
