Fritz Thyssen and Hjalmar Schacht are among the most glaring examples. More recently Walter Gieseking suddenly appeared on the horizon as a cleansed and purified artist. purged of his Naziphile record and perfumed for the delectation of music lovers. Gieseking is admittedly one of the worlds greatest living pianists. and I regret that I was forced by my convictions and my conscience to take the lead in forcing his expulsion from the country as an undesirable after the State Department had granted him a visitors visa. As Dr. Hans Kindler expressed it. we have to draw the line somewhere. and in the flood of visiting proNazi artists. musicians. journalists. scientists. lawyers. and what not.
