Summary

My late father, Samuel Margolis, was unwittingly caught in the anti-Communist hysteria of the early 1950s. His troubles began when he was accused of being a Communist by coworkers who disliked him. He was investigated by the FBI and other federal agencies and lost his livelihood for several years, but he was eventually able to clear his name.
