Gerhart Eisler (1897 – 1968) German-born, half-Jewish communist leader who fled the

U.S. after being charged with spying, went on to become East Germany's propaganda chief.*

ANTI-SEMITISM A CRIME

The chief of the German Information Department of Soviet controlled Eastern Germany, Gerhard Eisler declared at a press conference, in Berlin, that anti-Semitism has been abolished in Eastern Germany because it is considered that anti-Semitism is a crime against humanity.

Eisler also said that the German Communist Government will continue to fight against the German militaristic fascism which was responsible for the Hitler-barbaric outrages in Europe.
