For 22 years Donald Day (1895-1966) was the only American journalist stationed in Europe north of Berlin. From Poland, Finland, Latvia, Sweden and elsewhere in northern and central Europe, he covered events as correspondent for the Chicago Tribune. Convinced that Third Reich Germany was Europe’s only bulwark against Soviet tyranny. He, of course, is denounced and defamed nowadays as a raging “anti-semite”. Is it the reporter’s fault that the majority of those guilty individuals behind communism are Jews? That’s like blaming the weather reporter for reporting on the devastation of a tornado, as if being “anti-tornado” was all that mattered, and that the victims that lay strewn in its wake are of no importance.
