FIGHT Against War and Fascism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FIGHT Against War and Fascism was an anti-fascist monthly broadsheet published in the United States by the American League Against War and Fascism from November 1933 until July 1939.[1][2] It was headquartered in New York City.[3]

It was sponsored by socialists and communists. It apparently had Albert Einstein on its editorial committee.[citation needed]

Perhaps the most famous interview conducted by the paper occurred in 1936, when Grace Lumpkin interviewed the New York publisher and editor Seward Collins,[4] whose literary journal The American Review published the work of T. S. Eliot and other notable writers. In that interview, Collins came out as a fascist and supporter of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler and a harsh critic of European Jews. The fallout from the interview was immediate and The American Review ceased publication the following year.
