The horrors of 1930s Nazi Germany seemed distant to Americans, but Hollywood’s executives reacted by helping establish the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League (HANL) in 1936. Walt Disney brought German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl to Hollywood and faced a backlash since her 1935 film Triumph of the Will had profiled Adolf Hitler’s hypnotic hold on the masses. This hour-long lecture details Hollywood’s anti-Nazi movement and includes film clips reflecting the escalating situation in Europe.
