Henry Ford's War on Jews and the Legal Battle Against Hate Speech Researching FALL 2012 LAW Vol 23 | No 4 Henry Ford’s War on Jews and the Legal Battle Against Hate Speech RESEARCHING LAW Henry Ford’s War on Jews and the Legal Battle Against Hate Speech What is the relationship between the right to free speech and self- expression under the First Amendment and the government’s authority to limit speech it deems to be “hateful”? What is the relationship between hate speech that is directed at an individual and speech that targets the group to which that individual belongs? How have these relationships evolved during the last century, a time of great social change and intense civil rights activism? Victoria Saker Woeste A new book by ABF Research had been simmering between Professor Victoria Saker Woeste Ford and American Jews Victoria Saker Woeste was educated at the University of Virginia (B.A., cum examines these and other since World War I.

SARNA The year r856 was a vintage year for brilliant Jewish lawyers named Louis. On November 13, r8s6, Louis Brandeis was born in Louisville, Kentucky. One month later, on December 14, r856, Louis Marshall was born in Syracuse, New York. Louis and Louis were both first-generation Americans, born of central European Jewish parents. They both compiled stellar academic records. They both went on to have a profound affect on American law. Both were considered for seats on the U.S. Supreme Court, although only one of them made it.' And both became eminent leaders in American Jewish life. Yet while both men earned enormous respect within the Jewish and general communities, they never became friends and rarely worked to­ gether. They differed religiously, philosophically, and politically. They approached Judaism, America, and even the law itself from sharply different perspectives. The parents of Louis Brandeis and Louis Marshall arrived in America at approximately the same time in the middle of the nineteenth century.' Brandeis' parents hailed from Prague, Marshall's father from Baden and his mother from Wiimemberg. The two fathers had experienced prejudice and privation in central Europe that precipitated their emigration. Adolph Brandeis, who grew up in an urban area and studied at the Technical ,. An earlier version of this paper was delivered as the 1006 B. G. Rudolph Lecture in Judaic Studies at Syracuse University, commemorating the rsorh anniversary of the birth of Louis Marshall.

They may be murdered as a group, but they may not complain about it as a group. They can be defamed as a sinister gathering of the Elders of Zion, or as ritual murderers, but there is no effective remedy against their defamation as a group.1 The writer was technically wrong. Various laws condemn- ing and punishing defamation of groups did in fact exist on the books of several states and municipalities as early as the 1910s, and such laws experienced a return to favor in the years surrounding World War II. But the small number of claims brought under such laws, and the generally harsh treat- ment they received in the courts, lend the statement a ring of truth.2 For some time, disrepute led to obscurity, prompting one commentator to write over thirty years ago, "It is probable ©2000 Evan P.
