Felix Inslerman

Inslerman was allegedly one of the photographers of the State Department documents given to Whittaker Chambers by Alger Hiss. Originally identified only as "Felix," Inslerman was not the first photographer identified by Chambers. (That was Samuel Pelovitz.) Inslerman appeared before the grand jury, as did as his wife. He refused to answer questions regarding Chambers and refused to answer questions at the trials as well. 

Under considerable pressure, Inslerman finally told his story to Joseph R. McCarthy's Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security in 1954. Although he admitted to working with Chambers, his testimony conflicted with Chambers' on a number of key points. Click here to read his testimony.
