The
Hollywood Anti Nazi League was founded in 1937,
in an effort to unite Jewish people and others
in the Hollywood movie colony into organizing
to combat Naziism on a local scale. In 1939, the
Hollywood Anti Nazi League changed its name to
Hollywood League for Democratic Action. They printed
a newsletter under the name of "Hollywood Now"
which was discontinued in 1940. The organization
was financed by membership dues, contributions,
motion picture producers, and prominent stage
and screen stars. By 1942, this organization was
no longer in existence.
