Biographical notes:

Austin Joseph App (1902-1984) taught English language and literature at Catholic University of America and the University of Scranton between 1929-1942. After serving in the Army in World War II, he continued to teach literature at Incarnate Word College and LaSalle College between 1944-1968, but became increasingly involved in revisionist history, anti-semitism, anti-communism, anti-integration and anti-pornography interests. He was director of Boniface Press beginning in 1948, president of the Federation of American Citizens of German Descent from 1960-1966, and chair of the Captive Nations Committee of Greater Philadelphia beginning in 1965.
