ABSTRACT
The Introduction provides a brief overview of transcultural approaches to fascism studies on the one hand, and memory studies, on the other. It argues that a conversation between these fields can help us reflect on fascist memory in and beyond the twentieth century and put it into the double context of interwar Europe and our post-Holocaust era. At the same time, the Introduction integrates some of recent criticisms of both paradigms and outlines the chapters of the book in response to them. Finally, it puts forward the idea of fascist memory as an outcome of transcultural transfers and multiple migrations and argues that one needs to understand fascism's “traveling” as a force in its persistence.
