Christian Front (United States)

The Christian Front was an anti-Semitic political association active in the United States from 1938 to 1940, started in response to radio priest Charles Coughlin.[1] The Christian Front was mainly based in New York City and many of its members were Irish and German American Catholics.[2] Their activities included distributing like-minded publications and participating in rallies. After the American government began investigations in the late 1930s, a few members were arrested and prosecuted. The trials of these members discredited the entire movement and by the end of 1940, the Christian Front was no longer active.
