  • Hitler's American Model
    Hitler’s American Model The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law James Q. Whitman Princeton University Press Princeton and Oxford 1 Introduction This jurisprudence would suit us perfectly, with a single exception. Over there they have in mind, practically speaking, only coloreds and half-coloreds, which includes mestizos and mulattoes; but the Jews, who are also of interest to us, are not reckoned among the coloreds. —Roland Freisler, June 5, 1934 On June 5, 1934, about a year and a half after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of the Reich, the leading lawyers of Nazi Germany gathered at a meeting to plan what would become the Nuremberg Laws, the notorious anti-Jewish legislation of the Nazi race regime. The meeting was chaired by Franz Gürtner, the Reich Minister of Justice, and attended by officials who in the coming years would play central roles in the persecution of Germany’s Jews. Among those present was Bernhard Lösener, one of the principal draftsmen of the Nuremberg Laws; and the terrifying Roland Freisler, later President of the Nazi People’s Court and a man whose name has endured as a byword for twentieth-century judicial savagery. The meeting was an important one, and a stenographer was present to record a verbatim transcript, to be preserved by the ever-diligent Nazi bureaucracy as a record of a crucial moment in the creation of the new race regime. That transcript reveals the startling fact that is my point of departure in this study: the meeting involved detailed and lengthy discussions of the law of the United States.

Every week at this time, we tell the story of a person was important in the history of the United States. Today Steve Ember and Frank Oliver begin the story of industrialist Henry Ford. STEVE EMBER: Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile. But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until eighteen ninety-six. That was eleven years after two Germans -- Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz -- developed the first gasoline-powered automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the factory system that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many manufacturers used this system before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. Others made cars. Henry Ford made better cars. And he sold them for less money. Others built car factories. Henry Ford built the biggest factory of its time. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.

  • 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.

  • Misconceptions
    Misconceptions (from Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center) Norwegian non-Jews wore paper clips to express solidarity with Norwegian Jewry When the Germans occupied Norway in June 1940, between 1700 and 1800 Jews lived there – most of them in Oslo and all but 200 of them Norwegian citizens. Acceding to German demands, the collaborationist government immediately implemented anti-Jewish legislation. In November 1942, in response to further demands, the government rounded up more than 700 Jews, who were subsequently deported to Auschwitz where most were killed. Although the Norwegian resistance managed to smuggle the remaining Jews to neutral Sweden, the wearing of paper clips had nothing to do with demonstrating support for these efforts or solidarity with Norwegian Jewry. Rather, it represented one of many non-violent expressions of Norwegian nationalism and loyalty to King Haakon VII. These included listening secretly to foreign news broadcasts, printing and distributing underground newspapers and wearing pins fashioned from coins with the king’s head brightly polished, from various “flowers of loyalty,” from the symbol “H7” (for Haakon VII), and – for a time, after the latter were outlawed – from paper clips (also occasionally worn as bracelets). Why paper clips? Presumably – although some dispute this – because they were invented by a Norwegian named Johan Vaaler in 1899. Although, ironically, he had to patent the device in Germany because Norway had no patent law at the time. Vaaler did nothing more with his invention and, in subsequent years, paper clips would be manufactured and mass-marketed by firms in the United States and Great Britain (most notably, the Gem Company of Great Britain – originators of the familiar “double- U” slide-on clips, which the Norwegians may very well have worn.) The Germans used crushed Jewish bones to pave the Autobahn The Germans crushed Jewish bones in two specific contexts only.

  • Out-Producing the Enemy: American Production During WWII
    “Out-Producing the Enemy” American Production During WWII The National WWII Museum 945 Magazine Street New Orleans, LA 70130 (504) 528-1944 www.nationalww2museum.org/learn/education © The National WWII Museum “Out-Producing the Enemy:” American Production During WWII Before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the United States entered WWII in December 1941, the American economy was still weak from The Great Depression. In 1939, the US unemployment rate was high at 17.2% and America’s military was small, ranking 18th largest in the world after the nation of Romania. A year before America’s entry into the war in 1940, Adolf Hitler, the Nazi leader of Germany, predicted that American war supplies would not be enough to help the Allies win the war. Hitler said that “an American intervention by mass deliveries of planes and war materials will not change the outcome of the war.” However, US president Franklin Delano Roosevelt was determined to prove Hitler and the Axis Powers wrong. Roosevelt told the American people that they must all work together to win the war because “powerful enemies must be out-fought and out-produced.” In this lesson, discover how the United States was able to out-produce all other countries during World War II and create a “production miracle.” Students will analyze and graph historical statistics, and use primary sources like photographs, quotes, and propaganda posters to explain how US production helped the Allies to win the war. OBJECTIVES: Students will be able to: Identify and analyze primary and secondary sources including quotes, photographs, and propaganda posters to learn about the American Home Front experience during WWII.
