Some of it sounds like a stretch, but I sadly do believe most of it. In the case of people like Laemmle, I think he still believed that Germany was the same Germany he knew and not the nightmare it became following the Nazi rise to power. Others, I'm sure, are not so innocent, as this disturbingly proves. It almost feels like a black joke about the Hollywood system and how money at ANY cost was all that ever mattered to the "business."

A fascinating read.
