Walter Bernstein
From Conservapedia Walter Sol Bernstein graduated from Dartmouth College. While attending this school Bernstein joined the Young Communist League.
Bernstein wrote for The New Yorker magazine. During World War II, he was a war correspondent for the U.S. Army newspaper Yank and because of his Communist affiliations was given the chance to interview Josip Tito the leader of the Yugoslav Communist Partisans in 1944. Bernstein Walter Bernstein is cited in an October 1944 KGB report as welcoming "the re-establishment of liaison" with Soviet intelligence.
In 1951, because of his Communist ties, Bernstein was called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). His uncooperative performance before the committee did little to stay the fears of the Hollywood producers and he was blacklisted along with several others.
He also wrote for the 1953 television segments, You Are There, featuring Walter Cronkite.
In 1977 Bernstein made a cameo appearance as an actor in Woody Allen's film Annie Hall.
In 1996, Bernstein published a book about the blacklisting period titled Inside Out: A Memoir of the Blacklist. In his memoirs Bernstein stated while at Dartmouth College he first joined the Young Communist League in 1937.
