Faculty Advisor: Walter Licht This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/hist_honors/17 For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Silent Partner: How the Ford Motor Company Became an Arsenal of Nazism Abstract Corporate responsibility is a popular buzzword in the news today, but the concept itself is hardly novel. In response to a barrage of public criticism, the Ford Motor Company commissioned and published a study of its own activities immediately before and during WWII. The study explores the multifaceted and complicated relationship between the American parent company in Dearborn and the German subsidiary in Cologne. The report's findings, however, are largely inconclusive and in some cases, dangerously misleading. This thesis will seek to establish how, with the consent of Dearborn, the German Ford company became an arsenal for Hitler's march on Europe. This thesis will clarify these murky relationships, and picking up where the Ford internal investigation left off, place them within a framework of corporate accountability and complicity.

Three men accused of rape – African American workers in a traveling circus – were dragged by a mob from the Duluth jail and hung from a lamppost within a block of police headquarters. Id. These murders – these lynchings – were witnessed by an estimated 10,000 people, twenty percent of the population in Duluth at the time. Michael Fedo, The Lynchings in Duluth at 66 (Minnesota Historical Society, 2d ed. 2016) (hereinafter “Fedo”).1 Photographs of the gruesome scene, with the proud, grinning faces of the all-white mob crowded around the dangling corpses, were made into postcards and sold as souvenirs. Id. at 110. The lynchings were not only a foul blot on Duluth, but the entire state as well. Not surprisingly, memories of the incident faded and it soon became a forgotten episode in Minnesota history. Thanks to recent historical research, particularly that of author, teacher, and Duluth native Michael Fedo, facts surrounding the incident and subsequent events have been unearthed and the story once again placed in the public eye.

Strine, Jr.* Reading Mariano‐Florentino Cuéllar, Margaret Levi, and Barry R. Weingast’s1 essay, Twentieth Century America as a Developing Country: Conflict, Institutional Change, and the Evolution of Public Law,2 gives a twenty‐first‐century admirer of the New Deal and European social democracy a temporary nostalgic lift, which is then followed by melancholy. The reason is that the benefit of looking back from the last part of the second decade of this century is to recognize just how much of the gains rightly celebrated by the Authors have been eroded. In doing an excellent job making a case for the essentiality of law in guaranteeing stability, compromise, and the peaceful resolution of disputes between employers and their workforce, the Authors implicitly also underscore another reality: that something is essential does not mean that it is, in itself, sufficient.

  • Hitler's Hero Henrich Ford
    he historian Daniel Goldhagen has tried to explain Nazism as an exclusively German antisemitic perversion, Other historians, T including Ernst Nolte, refer to "Asian" behaviour and possible emulation of the Bolsheviks, But what if Hannah Arendt's early perception was right and the roots of Nazi racism and antisemitism really were in the West,; even perhaps in the United States? One of Hitler's favourite books was written by Henry Ford, a highly representative American, . while the scientific doctrines and political and judicial racist practices of the US made an appreciable impact on currents of thought in Germany, The connection is based on a long US tradition of formulating the idea of race in legal terms, That tradition fascinated the Nazi movement from the start The US, for historical reasons connected with the practice of slavery, is the unique example of a power that used an official racial classification as the basis of citizenship. The US had successive, though shifting, definitions of "whiteness" and "blackness" that served as legal categories for 350 z years; some of its states practised forced sterilisation decades before the rise of Nazism in Germany; and ~ Adolf Hitler was envious of US immigration policies ofthe 1920s, So the US connection is a good place from which to reassess the modern ~ sources of Nazism and its continuation through m certain political practices in western societies, ~ -0 including some democracies, ~ o Political culture in the US rightfully denounces (') r antisemitism and the Holocaust But there is an I () embarrassed silence about the links and affinities » m m (/) between Nazi Germany and some important I CO '.
