Part of the problem with this rumour is the wide spread anti semitism that existed in the 30's and before. During the depression people who were not part of the majority were seen as a drain on society and so a lot of people were anti semetic. Does this mean Disney was? No. Does it mean a lot of people were? Yes.
Henry Ford on the other hand.... that's a much more interesting story.

Probably just a rumor. It's hard to be a hater AND successful at the same time.

the rumor of Disney's anti-semitism is largely contributed to a book published in 1994 by marc eliot (walt disney, the dark prince of hollywood) in the book eliot claims that disney was a life-long anti-semite

True. Anti semitism was quite common in his generation. Jews were not allowed to join most golf cubs. It was the same for blacks
