[The daughter of an Orthodox Jew,
Sarah Solemani knew fascism
had existed in 60s London.
But she would later discover a hidden
world of espionage – and resistance
funny thing, nostalgia. It comes from the
Greek “nostos”, for homecoming, and “algos”,
for pain or longing.
Many of us have it for the 60s,
even if we weren’t close to being born.
We feel we missed out on the all
the proper parties and druggy fun.

Yet in the summer of 1962,
a legally held, Nazi-inspired rally
was held in Trafalgar Square in
central London.
It had a nostalgia all of its own.
The National Socialist Movement (NSM)
waved swastikas with slogans that
screamed “Free Britain from Jewish control”.
This far-right party, with its own
paramilitary force called Spearhead,
was led by the Cambridge-educated Colin Jordan,
who deemed Oswald Mosley a “kosher fascist” for
being too “soft” on Jewish people.
Surrounding Trafalgar Square were police officers,
paid to protect the Nazi rhetoric under the
auspices of freedom of speech,
warding off the chorus of boos.
The boos were voiced by groups of
anti-fascists, who, when such events got violent,
as they often did, would usually be arrested.]
