The 62 Group, originally the 62 Committee,[1][2] was a militant broad-based coalition of anti-fascists in London, headed by Harry Bidney. Based on the earlier 43 Group, it was formed in 1962 largely in response to the resurgence of fascism in Britain at the time, and particularly Colin Jordan's National Socialist Movement (NSM).[3] It used violence against the remnants of Oswald Mosley's Union Movement, the original British National Party, and the emerging National Front, as well as the NSM.[4][5] The group was financed in part by the Jewish Aid Committee of Britain (JACOB).[6]
