Walt Disney Was an Alleged Anti-Semite
When Leni Riefenstahl arrived in the U.S. in 1938, his antisemitic documentary Triumph of the Will, which glorified Nazism, had been released and seen by people all over the world. One of the three people to greet Riefenstahl was Walt Disney, who gave him a three-hour personal tour of the Disney lot. Disney was the only studio head who met with Riefenstahl during his visit, adding fuel to the accusations that Disney was antisemitic.
