On another list, in the context of a discussion of Walt Disney's alleged anti
semitism and racism, one correspondent who said she knew a great deal of the
Disney operation in the forties and fifties said that Disney employed many
Jewish executives and creators, hired african americans at a time when this
certainly wasn't fashionable, and also employed women liberally.
Now my understanding was that Disney studios did employ Jews -- lots of us
always being around Hollywood cant say about people of color but women who
were used as a sort of slave resource poorly paid in assembly line production
of cells but who weren't allowed to rise higher than this into the better
ranks of animators
Any real info on any of this my knowledge and perhaps this is an urban
legend was that Disney himself was at least a country club anti-semite in his
personal life, however many Jewish employees he had
All info greatly appreciated thanks Harvey Roy Greenberg MD
