Elia Kazan...Genius or Lowlife?

Sort of related, then, is Leni Riefenstahl. She passed recently and is known mainly for Triumph des Willens, or "Triumph of the Will" - the infamous Nazi propaganda film from 1934. As a film, it's widely regarded as a work of art. But then there's that small bit about it being a Nazi propaganda film. Should she be remembered for her art, or for the fact that she (directly or indirectly) supported the Third Reich?
