Confessions of a Nazi Spy, starring Edward G. Robinson, told the story of German agents in New York City working to overthrow the U.S. government. The film alerted Americans to the dangers of Nazism at home and encouraged them to defend against it. Confessions of a Nazi Spy may have been the first cinematic shot fired by Hollywood against Nazis in America, but it by no means marked the political awakening of the film industry's Jewish executives to the problem. Hollywood's Spies tells the remarkable story of the Jewish moguls in Hollywood who paid private investigators to infiltrate Nazi groups operating in Los Angeles, establishing the first anti-Nazi Jewish resistance organization in the country--the Los Angeles Jewish Community Committee (LAJCC). Drawing on more than 15,000 pages of archival documents, Laura B. Rosenzweig offers a compelling narrative illuminating the role that Jewish Americans played in combating insurgent Nazism in the United States in the 1930s. Forced undercover by the anti-Semitic climate of the decade, the LAJCC partnered with organizations whose Americanism was unimpeachable, such as the American Legion, to channel information regarding seditious Nazi plots to Congress, the Justice Department, the FBI and the Los Angeles Police Department. Hollywood's Spies corrects the decades-long belief that American Jews lacked the political organization and leadership to assert their political interests during this period in our history and reveals that the LAJCC was one of many covert "fact finding" operations funded by Jewish Americans designed to root out Nazism in the United States. 588 0 Online resource; title from READ title page (OverDrive, viewed September 26, 2017). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Nazis in motion pictures.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2011003418 650 0 Anti-Nazi movement|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85005616|zCalifornia|zLos Angeles.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79021240-781 650 0 Motion picture industry|zCalifornia|zLos Angeles|xHistory |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008107995 |y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002012476 650 0 Motion pictures|xPolitical aspects|zUnited States|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008108037|xHistory |y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006165 650 7 Nazis in motion pictures.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1904065 650 7 Anti-Nazi movement.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 810297 650 7 Motion picture industry.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1027150 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 HISTORY|xJewish.|2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY|zUnited States|xState & Local|xWest (AK, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, UT, WY)|2bisacsh 650 7 Motion pictures|xPolitical aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1027353 650 7 PERFORMING ARTS|xReference.|2bisacsh 651 0 Hollywood (Los Angeles, Calif.)|xHistory|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008115352|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002012476 651 7 California|zLos Angeles.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1204540 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 651 7 California|zLos Angeles|zHollywood.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1312041 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aRosenzweig, Laura B.|tHollywood's spies. |dNew York : New York University Press, 2017 |z9781479855179|z1479855170|w(DLC) 2017003763 |w(OCoLC)983427663 830 0 Goldstein-Goren series in American Jewish history.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2010040894 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1497329|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
