The online version I read made no mention of her part in sending Communists to seminaries. Does anyone know why that might have been left out, or by whom?
I had a friend who knew Bella Dodd and she assured me that when Dodd gave lectures all over America she would retell her story of how she had trained young communists preparing them to enter the seminary without revealing their background. But there seems to be some kind of movement to overwrite Dodd's testimony by somehow blacklisting her message, claiming she never said those things, or even that it was all fabricated.
You can test who might be in control of the smear campaign by going into Wikipedia and edit the page on Bella Dodd, then come back every 5 minutes to see how long it takes for your material to disappear. I would guess 20 minutes, max, day or night.
Also, there is a book
AA-1029 Memoirs of an Anti-Apostle, which is a kind of diary written by one such seminarian, although he doesn't mention Dodd in his notes. It was a manuscript kept in a briefcase held by a hospital patient who had carried it with him when he was admitted to the hospital, as I recall it was during WWII. There was a nurse who was treating him (whose name is the author of the book), and he had assured her that this case was his own, including the contents, but he did not explain anything about it to her. It was only after he had died that she went through the case and read some of the pages, and only then she realized that she wished she could have asked him some questions about it, but it was too late by then. Later, she had the memoirs published, and there arose accusations of dishonesty against her, accusing her of making up the whole thing. One has to wonder if that kind of accusation could only happen if there had been a lot of truth in the matter to begin with, and someone has a vested interest in trying to prevent the truth from getting out.
