This was the letter I've sent to the AMPAS and to all my friends and contacts about Leni Riefenstahl.
********************************************
For those who know me well, you know my love and obsession for the movies and know that I akways keep in touch with pretty much EVERYTHING about cinema.
For that reason it would be important if you read the following text I send you, understand the reason's why I write these lines and if you do agree with them, I ask you to forward the text to AMPAS ( Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ) at the e-mail ampas@oscars.org who every year takes part of it's Oscar Broadcasting as a small recognition to all those who contributed to the film industry and died in the past year.
It is important that if you agree, to copy the following text, and on top of it you write " I agree with this text " and also to sign your name and location ( city, country ), and with the subject line saying " Leni Riefenstahl ".
Thank you for your attention

To the distinguished members of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences
During the past year, many were those who contributed to the film industry and to some of the best and memorable moments at movie theaters, who died. One of those persons was the former German actress and directeur Leni Riefenstahl.
For those who don't know the name, Leni Riefenstahl was an actress during the 1920's who was admired by Adolf Hitler, who saw in her the perfect example of a "true German", capable of glorifying the Nazi ideas.
All of us know what the Nazi ideas made during the 1930's and 1940's all over the world: war, destruction, death, genocide and starvation due to the search of power and control, ignoring people and the respect, every human being deserves to have and live a noble life.
As an European citizen, although not having family who suffered directly from World War II horrors, it is my moral obligation to write this letter asking the AMPAS direction, distinguished members and representatives to be aware that noone involved in any way with such horrors may be honored in any occasion, and in this case Oscars night, wich is broadcasted to all the world.
In the name of human dignity and most importantly in the name of all those who died, killed by the Nazi regime, it is important that the name of Leni Riefenstahl should NOT have international recognition. NOT in the name of art, and NOT in the name of an academy of awards and promotes the best in the industry each year.
It is important that Leni Riefenstahl's name won't be mentioned in every year's section " In Memoriam " of the Oscars.
Art is supposed to give importance to Man's great actions, developments and courageous acts, not to those who promote and colaborated with dictatorships ans fascist regimes.
I sincerely ask that this letter won't be ignored and that no special mention be made to this person.
With my best regards
Sintra, Portugal, Europe
********************************************
For my satisfaction I know that many people from Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, The Netherlands, Canada, United States, Israel and Peru have forwarded this letter. The negative aspect was that this person had her 5 seconds ( too much time in my opinion ) at the Oscars... but... that's just ME !!!
