[LEN-E] Riefenstahl, why bother?

[Luc Deneulin]

Dear Ron,

Many people have "discovered" Riefenstahl by seeiing the film Die  
Macht der Bilder and to a lesser extend reading her Autobiography.  
After the release of that film, interest in Riefenstahl was high,  
very high, especially since she still participated in the debate.
I must say that before 1993 Riefenstahl was not that much known  
amongst a very large population, in spite of her Africa books etc.  
The film gave her fame, everybody wanted to know more and to see her  
films, which in 1993 was very difficult. Now all this has been done,  
and interest is fading globaly, also with fans who now have other idols.

On the other hand, other books are being published by people who  
lived and worked in the Third Reich or in Europe during the war  and  
these are also very very negative, sometimes for people who did not  
even met Hitler etc.
