Biography
Saul Grossman was executive secretary of the Michigan Committee for Protection of the Foreign Born. He was prosecuted for refusing to turn over the organization’s records to the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1952. A federal judge convicted him of contempt of Congress and imposed a one-year sentence, but Grossman remained free on bail. The U.S. Court of Appeals reversed the conviction and directed his acquittal on January 12, 1956, so he did not serve the prison sentence.
