In those days this book made such a deep impression on my friends and myself be- cause we saw in Henry Ford the representative of suc- cess, also the exponent of a progressive social policy. In the poverty-stricken and wretched Germany of the time, youth looked toward America, and apart from the great benefactor, Herbert Hoover, it was Henry Ford who to us represented America.”[6] Ford is the only American mentioned in Hitler’s Mein Kampf, but is only mentioned once in one sentence, where Hitler writes “Every year makes them [American Jews] more and more the con- trolling masters of the producers in a nation of one hun- dred and twenty millions; only a single great man, Ford, to their fury still maintains full independence.” The second edition of the book removed reference to Ford.[7] 4 The Patriotic Publishing Co.

This event followed an earlier consultation in Geneva, Switzerland convened by JBI for Dr. Shaheed in June 2018 on global efforts to monitor and combat antisemitism and engaging the United Nations human rights system to address this problem.1 I.

  • Henry Ford and 'The International Jew': His Century-Old Anti
    Headline: Henry Ford and ‘The International Jew’: His Century-old Anti- Semitism Thrives in the 21st Century Source: The Dearborn Historian, Fall Issue, 2018 What: This is four pages of an 16-page article I wrote for the current issue of the Dearborn Historical Museum’s quarterly magazine, which I edit. Context: One hundred years ago this month, Henry Ford – Dearborn’s favorite son -- bought a weekly paper in Dearborn, used it to attack Jews. He turned the content into widely circulated books, which continue to sow hatred online today. There is no online aspect to The Historian. It’s like it’s 1990. Four pages By BILL McGRAW Henry Ford was peaking as a global celebrity at the conclusion of World War I, having introduced the $5 workday, assembly line and Model T -- revolutionary changes that transformed the way people lived. Reporters staked out the gates of his Fair Lane mansion. Ford loved the limelight and he constantly made news, even running for the U.S. Senate in Michigan as a Democrat in 1918. He narrowly lost. In the midst of his fame, Ford became a media mogul of sorts, forming the Dearborn Publishing Company and purchasing the sleepy Dearborn Independent weekly newspaper, which was dying of red ink. He published the paper under his name for the first time 100 years ago, in January 1919. Under Ford, the Independent became notorious for its unprecedented attacks on Jews. But Ford’s anti-Semitism traveled far beyond the Dearborn borders. Showing the marketing expertise that had catapulted Ford Motor into one of the world’s most famous brands, Henry Ford’s lieutenants vastly widened the reach of his attacks by packaging the paper’s anti-Semitic content into four books.

  • Stereotypes of Jews in Poland in the Context of Political Antisemitism
    Stereotypy wzajemnego postrzegania w świadomości pokoleniowej 1 Jerzy Sielski, Jan Długosz Academy Stereotypes of Jews in Poland in the Context of Political Antisemitism The perception of ethnic minorities and nationalities has its own longstanding tradition. The stereotype of Jews is linked to the phenomenon of antisemitism. One of the most well-known definitions of antisemitism belongs to Jean-Paul Sartre: “Antisemitism seeks to find, in the existence of Jews, the cause of all or some failures, personal and collective; and the belief that it is possible to solve problems through partially or totally depriving Jews of their rights, through excluding them from the economy and society, driving them out of the country or even extermination "1. Alina Cała proposes a wider definition in her monograph Żyd - wróg odwieczny? Antysemityzm w Polsce i jego źródła (The Jew – the Eternal Enemy? Antisemitism in Poland and Its Sources): Antisemitism – an ideology, a world view or political current, containing a complex prejudice, justifying a hostile attitude to Jews. The formation of the concept of nationalism and totalitarianism was based on a tradition of anti-Judaism. Sometimes, it is referred to as racism, incorrectly singling out Jews as an anthropological race. In a broader sense – the defining of social attitudes, manifesting themselves in a world view in which an important role is played by aggression, verbal or physical, disapproving generally of and showing prejudice against Jews, and justifying such conduct through religious, nationalist, racist, political or economic reasons2. Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, in his book Hitler’s Willing Executioners, Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust, in which he tries to understand the conduct and mentality of thousands of Germans who became the perpetrators of genocide, distinguishes three dimensions of antisemitism3.

  • American Christianity, Jews and Israel
    Yaakov Ariel American Christianity,Jews and Israel: Antisemitism and Faith “No one is born hatinganother person because of the colorofhis skin or his background or his religion. People must learn to hate,and if they can learn to hate,they can be taught to love. Forlovecomes morenaturallytothe human heart than its opposite.” Nelson Mandela¹ Introduction On August 11–12,2017, armed whitesupremacists,white nationalists, neo-Con- federates,Klansmen, neo-Nazis, and other racist and antisemitic groups marched in Charlottesville,Virginia. CarryingNazi-likebanners, chanting an- tisemitic, as well as anti-Muslim and anti-black slogans, they clashed violently with counter demonstrators.² The magnitude of the event,its militancy,and the venom it unleashedagainst Jews and others shocked manyAmericans, who had viewed such groups as fringe, small, and lacking in influenceand im- portance. Since the 1960s, and even more so the 1980s, American writers and ac- tivists thought that White Christian antisemitic groups have weakened and de- clined, moving into the shadows, having lost their legitimacy and much of their base of support.³ This, they now discovered, was not quite true.⁴ Racist,vir- ulentlyantisemitic Christian groups have not takenoverAmericansociety,and they weakened since theirheydayinthe 1920sand 1930s.
