About this title

Synopsis

Since Gareth Jones’s historic press conference in Berlin in 1933 when he became the first journalist to reveal the existence and extent of the Holodomor, a Soviet-induced famine in Ukraine in which over four million people died, Jones and his professional reputation have been the focus of a determined campaign by those who deny the famine ever happened. Attempts to destroy Jones’s character, which would de facto undermine the reliability of his reports of the Holodomor, have increased in recent years following global recognition and acclaim for the importance of his work. In addition, his self-confessed love of Germany, speaking fluent German, and making annual visits from 1925-35, have resulted in a number of accusations that Jones was, in fact, a Nazi sympathiser and fascist collaborator. In Gareth Jones - On Assignment in Nazi Germany 1933-34, Gamache provides a compelling narrative which refutes claims of Jones’s Nazi sympathies.
