How awful for them [Hitler's victims] to see those swastikas, the SS men and the SA - people we'd never thought of as criminals.
Leni RiefenstahlI am fascinated by what is beautiful, strong, healthy, what is living. I seek harmony.
Leni RiefenstahlWhere is my guilt? I can regret. I can regret that I made the party film, `Triumph of the Will,' in 1934. But I cannot regret that I lived in that time. No anti-Semitic word has ever crossed my lips. I was never anti-Semitic. I did not join the party. So where then is my guilt? You tell me. I have thrown no atomic bombs. I have never betrayed anyone. What am I guilty of?
