The New Arab: UK Sanctions 'Extreme Right-Wing' Blood And Honour Group
“Britain on Wednesday froze the assets of international neo-Nazi group Blood and Honour, the first use of the UK's counter-terrorism sanctions to target a far-right entity. The finance ministry said it had "reasonable grounds" to suspect that Blood and Honour was "promoting and encouraging terrorism, seeking to recruit people for that purpose and making funds available" for terror activities… The group emerged in England in 1987 from the skinhead music scene, according to The Counter Extremism Project (CEP), a non-profit policy organisation working to combat extremist ideologies. Founded by Ian Stuart Donaldson, who died in a 1993 car crash, it has since spread across Europe, Russia, Australia, and North America, the CEP noted.”

Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
