Felt the site was important because of who Leni Riefenstahl is/was and because of current trends that feed political correctness, historical revisionism and tend to forgive actions that are unforgivable. I don't forget. I don't forgive. Even hold grudges. Not things to be proud of, but that's my problem. B.D. is dead on about her propaganda. I believe that scholars of this film genre call one of her works "the greatest propaganda film ever made." Unforgivable in light of the regime it glorified. Simply wanted to "shine a light" on this so folks could draw their own conclusions -- as well as remember some things that should not be forgotten.
