Anti-Fasicst Klezmer - Daniel Kahn on the consequences of giving White Supremacists a megphone

from Cafe International · host Daniel Rosenberg

We look at the question of what is the harm of giving a megaphone to fascists? In the wake of Donald Trump’s dinner with a neo-nazi, with twitter welcoming back white supremacists to their platform, we revisit an interview with klezmer singer and composer Daniel Kahn that we recorded just after the Unite the Right march in Charlottesville Virginia. One of his most powerful songs, originally written 90 years ago is, “Embrace the Fascists”  which deals with this very subject: the debate over free speech when that speech is calling for genocide.
