The International Jew, Antisemitic Booklets publish by Henry Ford

From 1919 through 1927, Henry Ford ran a weekly newspaper called The Dearborn Independent, which is one of the interesting facts about Henry Ford. The Dearborn Independent quickly started publishing several pieces alleging that a major Jewish conspiracy had infected America. The newspaper included several important items in its headlines that painted Jews as bad for 91 issues. The most well-known and violent of these tales were later collected and released in a four-volume pamphlet collection named The International Jew. The booklets were then sent to Ford's extensive network of dealerships and subscribers in an amount of half a million copies. Attorney and activist Aaron Sapiro from San Francisco filed a case against Ford in the federal courts.

Henry Ford closed the Dearborn Independent and issued an apology for the article's content as a result of the ensuing uproar. He declared sympathy for Adolf Hitler and Germany, even though he later repudiated the articles and sold the publication, and in 1938 he accepted the Grand Cross of the German Eagle, the highest award the Nazi administration bestowed upon a non-German. He even said that he was surprised by the information and had no idea what it was. It is quite improbable that such contentious material was released without Ford's full approval, nevertheless.
