American Experience | PBS • Jan 16, 2024 In the 1930s, Summer camps opened up across the country. But these weren’t normal summer camps: they were the creation of the German American Bund, a pro-Nazi organization with a vision of America ruled by white Christians. NAZI TOWN, USA tells the largely unknown story of the Bund, which had scores of chapters in suburbs and big cities across the country and represented what many believe was a real threat of fascist subversion in the United States. Watch this extended preview of NAZI TOWN, USA, premiering Tuesday, January 23rd at 9/8c on PBS, PBS.org and the free PBS App. Official website → https://to.pbs.org/3tuHAiH Composite art made from stock photos of models.

Streamed live on Feb 6, 2024 • THE WATCH CLUB February ‘24 Interview with filmmaker Peter Yost In December, for the second time in a year, the New Hampshire attorney general’s office filed a civil complaint against a white supremacist group led by a Newburyport resident. The state’s top cop alleges that the group, the Nationalist Social Club-131, violated anti-discrimination laws with its anti-LGBTQ demonstrations and by hanging a banner from a highway overpass that read “Keep New England White.”  The rise of contemporary fascism may be alarming, but we’ve been here before. In NAZI TOWN, USA, premiering Tuesday evening on PBS’s “American Experience,” director Peter Yost revisits a period in the 1930s when Nazi sympathizers could fill Madison Square Garden, where they called for a racially “pure” America. “There’s no such thing as foreign fascism,” says one historian in the film. “Fascism is always homegrown.”
