Judaeo-Masonic-Bolshevik Conspiracy in Spain 1931-36
Tue 2 June 2015
Alison Richard Building
A public lecture by Dr Christopher Bannister (European University Institute). This lecture will examine the concept of the ‘Judeo-Masonic-Bolshevik’ Conspiracy during the Spanish Second Republic, to understand its influence in fostering anti-Republican feeling prior to the outbreak of war and to ultimately assess its contribution to Francoist repression during the dictatorship (1939-1975), all within a broader European context. In the fraught atmosphere of the Civil War proper, the apparently outlandish assertion that the Republic was being run by the ‘International Jewry’ from Moscow via Europe’s Masonic lodges became a key theme in Francoist propaganda, one that would continue long into the posguerra. The lecture will examine the roots of this discourse, detailing the confluence of more traditionally ‘Spanish’ anti-Semitic attitudes and the broader European conception of an international ‘Judeo-Marxist’ Conspiracy. This event will be followed by a wine reception.
