This document presents the hearing before the Subcommittee of the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, during the Sixty-Fifth Congress, Second Session, regarding S. 3529, a bill to repeal the act incorporating the "National German-American Alliance." Held in 1918, amidst the backdrop of World War I, the hearing delves into the activities and influence of the National German-American Alliance, an organization that faced increasing scrutiny due to its perceived pro-German sympathies.
The transcript offers valuable insights into the political climate and social tensions of the era, reflecting concerns about national loyalty and the role of ethnic organizations during wartime. It is a crucial historical record for understanding the complexities of German-American identity and the challenges faced by immigrant communities during a period of intense national fervor. This hearing provides a detailed look at the legislative process and the arguments surrounding the dissolution of a prominent cultural organization.
