Description

Tan pamphlet in English with title, "Statement by Henry Ford." Interior includes statements by Ford regarding Jews.

Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Henry Ford’s The International Jew resurrected the canard that a cabal of Jews conspire to achieve power and wealth, and ultimately world domination. Through four volumes of articles originally published in the Dearborn Independent - a newspaper owned by Ford - he mined the discredited forgery The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion to justify his own private prejudices. First published in Russia in 1903, Protocols has been weaponized by antisemites ever since. Hitler himself was familiar with the work and it helped justify his world view. So pleased was he to find in Ford a fellow traveler, he gave him an award.
