This should have been posted on the internet, but you have to do it immediately when you read the article, or it will be too late. I unfortunately failed to respond the night I read it because I was too tired to make sense. I did send my letter anyway, with the hope that Rabinowitz would at least read the responses.

Her article was about her worst written article that I have read. Her whole premise was a non sequitur, especially the part about Hollywood and the last dig about McCarthy supporting the Nazis was totally off base. She obviously wrote the article without doing ANY research.

the last dig about McCarthy supporting the Nazis was totally off base.

When I read Evans' letter, I went back to re-read Rabinowitz's column. I too was struck by her dig about the "Nazi" support.

So I did a bit of digging and came up with a very interesting piece (Malmedy and McCarthy) by a contemporary, in 1954. It's at:

It gives a good insight into Military Tribunals, which makes it especially appropriate today.

It also gives a hint as to why it was important to Rabinowitz.

McCarthy was on a sub-committee investigating charges that the investigators and prosecutors had used physical and mental torture on the accused German Army folks charged with the Malmedy Massacre. McCarthy walked out on the sub-committee claiming that it was a white-wash, and he said so on the floor of the Senate.

Most, if not all of the investigators and prosecutors were Jewish.
