520    Tells the remarkable story of the Jewish moguls in 
       Hollywood who established the first anti-Nazi Jewish 
       resistance organization in the country in the 1930sIn 
       April 1939, Warner Brothers studios released the first 
       Hollywood film to confront the Nazi threat in the United 
       States. 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.
