Description: Henry Ford's War on Jews and the Legal Battle Against Hate Speech by Victoria Saker Woeste Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The complex story behind Henry Fords stunning 1927 apology to the Jews-a statement that was supposed to put an end to his career as a purveyor of hate speech but which ironically kept his name on one of the most widely circulated antisemitic tracts in history. Publisher Description Henry Ford is remembered in American lore as the ultimate entrepreneur-the man who invented assembly-line manufacturing and made automobiles affordable. Largely forgotten is his side career as a publisher of antisemitic propaganda. This is the story of Fords ownership of the Dearborn Independent, his involvement in the defamatory articles it ran, and the two Jewish lawyers, Aaron Sapiro and Louis Marshall, who each tried to stop Fords war.In 1927, the case of Sapiro v. Ford transfixed the nation. In order to end the embarrassing litigation, Ford apologized for the one thing he would never have lost on in court: the offense of hate speech. Using never-before-discovered evidence from archives and private family collections, this study reveals the depth of Fords involvement in every aspect of this case and explains why Jewish civil rights lawyers and religious leaders were deeply divided over how to handle Ford.
