Henry Ford and the Jews: The Mass Production Of Hate
Henry Ford was not only one of America's great industrialists, he was  also one of America's great haters. With "his rambling mouth" and his "volatile  passions and budgetless financial resources," Ford became famous around the  country and the world for his rabid anti-Semitism. "He did not like the Jews  because he believed they were warmongering, manipulative, and alien," writes  Neil Baldwin. A pacifist, Ford blamed the First World War on "German-Jewish  bankers." In the 1920s, he publishedThe Dearborn Independent, which  featured notorious articles such as "The International Jew: The World's  Problem." In 1938, he became the first American recipient of a Nazi award  bestowed upon non-Germans. Baldwin details Ford's views and activities and also  describes the phenomenon of anti-Semitism in the United States during the 1920s  and 1930s. Henry Ford once declared, infamously, "History is more or less the  bunk." His descendents seem to disagree. "Beginning with Henry Ford II," writes  Baldwin, "succeeding generations of Fords have sought to put an end to Henry  Ford's dark legacy" by supporting Israel and Jewish charities. Their actions  bear out what one Jewish newspaper said in response to Ford in 1920: "We are  firm in our belief that stupidity cannot triumph."--John Miller--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
