Group:

Must apologize publicly for a poorly phrased initial posting about this site 
and add that I agree with all that B.D. has said.

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.

Greg
