About Gordon Kahn
In October 1947, the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) opened its hearing into Communist influence in the movie business and promptly denounced 19 prominent directors, producers, screenwriters, and actors as enemies of the state. One of them was Hollywood screenwriter Gordon Kahn, whose films include All Quiet on the Western Front and The African Queen. He is the author of Hollywood on Trial (Boni & Gaer, 1949), which chronicled this disgraceful episode in American history.
Gordon Kahn's son, Morning Stories producer Tony Kahn, produced and wrote a six-part personal history of the Hollywood Blacklist, that tells the story of his father's 15 years of persecution and the fear that followed him, his family, and thousands of other Americans for being accused of having "the wrong political ideas." http://www.wgbh.org/article/?item_id=3625029
