LIFE MAGAZINE

Life listed prominent people who they classified as ‘dupes’ of the communist conspiracy and ‘fellow travelers’, those who associated with ‘communists.’ Ironically, when Einstein was a young man in Berlin, he was one of the few prominent people in Germany who spoke out against the German militarism and the rush to War (WWI). Then he was also referred to as a dupe and a fellow traveler of the English and Americans. Einstein was particularly outspoken against racism and segregation at a time when many Southern, racial conservatives accused all opponents of segregation of being communists or carrying the communist line.
