During those wars he was employed by The Times, and his eye-witness reports did much to alert western nations of war crimes committed by the Italians in Ethiopia and by the Germans in Spain. He won prominence with his scoop report on the bombing of Guernica on 26 April 1937; his reporting did much to inspire Pablo Picasso to record the atrocity for posterity in his massive painting. In 2006 the town of Guernica honored George Steer unveiling a bronze bust and naming a street in his memory. The city of Bilbao dedicated George Steer Street in 2010) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Steer> |
