"Ilya Ehrenburg (26 Jan. 1891 – 31 Aug. 1967) was a Soviet-Jewish journalist and the Soviet Union’s main war propagandist. He was put in charge of submitting daily articles to the Western Allies in order to foment “hate, hate, and more hate” against everything German, as Stalin put it. In fact, Ehrenburg ended up writing more than one article per day, sometimes up to five, inventing German atrocities in assembly-line fashion, and depicting Germans as subhuman monsters, calling upon his readers to kill every single German, wherever they may be found."
