Hi, I know that there were many people like Walt Disney who were known to be Anti-Semitic, but on the other hand, many important founders in Hollywood (like Jack Warner or Louis Meyer) were Jewish. So I was wondering how prevalent Antisemitism was in classic Hollywood. Who was it mainly targeted against, and what forms did it take? Thank you.
This is a really interesting question that I'd love to devote more time to at some point, but in the meantime I can direct you to this post that discusses why there are no Jews in the film Casablanca, and this multipart post about antisemitism in the US in the 30s, 40s and 50s.
