Summary

Henry Ford published the weekly The Dearborn Independent from 1919 to 1927 as a forum for his views. Between 1920 and 1922, the paper ran a series of front-page articles (penned by its editor, William Cameron) entitled The International Jew that denounced all things Jewish. Many of these articles were later compiled, reprinted, and distributed in a four-volume set. These defamatory articles exposed Ford's deep anti-Semitic sentiments and sadly legitimized these prejudices to hundreds of thousands of readers. Though Ford later apologized and printed a retraction, this episode forever tarnished the influential automaker's reputation.
