| Summary | "Investigation of Communist Activities in the Seattle, Wash., Area, Hearings, Part 2" is a governmental hearing document produced in the mid-20th century, specifically from the era of the Cold War. This publication records testimonies and proceedings of the House Committee on Un-American Activities that took place over two days in March 1955, focusing on suspected communist affiliations and activities in Seattle. The content addresses various individuals' testimonies regarding their backgrounds, occupations, and connections to the Communist Party, revealing a historical snapshot of political tensions in the United States during this period. The opening of the hearings sets the stage by introducing key witnesses, including Robert B. Krahl and Robert Miller, who address inquiries about their past involvement with the Communist Party. Both witnesses invoke the Fifth Amendment multiple times when asked to clarify their connections to communist organizations, indicating potential legal and personal ramifications involved with their admissions. The sessions delve into their life circumstances, including employment and military service, while establishing a backdrop of accusations and connections to broader communist activities that the committee is investigating. This section lays the groundwork for a detailed exploration of Communist influences within the labor movements and the complexities of individual testimonies in relation to party memberships amidst societal scrutiny.
