Abstract:
Although the film industry in Hollywood was founded mainly by Jews, they largely did not deal with Jewish issues in the films they produced during 1933-1953. Notes that there was an atmosphere of hysteria and repression (due to fear of communism) dominating the United States during the early Cold War. That hysteria was used by antisemites, adventurers and those opposed to trade unions to settle longstanding labor and political conflicts in the film industry.
Note:
Appeared also in "The Jews of the West; the Metropolitan Years" (1979).
