Bertolt Brecht before the Committee on Un-American Activities

Text of the recording of the questioning of Bertolt Brecht by the HUAC, as of October 20th, 1947. It is an encounter that rivals in drama some of the great trial scenes in Brecht's plays, and it will fascinate equally both those interested in Brecht and those interested in the HUAC. This is the text of a recording made by Smithsonian Folkways Records originally inserted in slipcase with the recording.
