Anti-Jewish industry titan Henry Ford wrote two volumes of anti-Jewish essays, The International Jew: The World’s Foremost Problem and Jewish Activities in the United States, both also published by The Dearborn Independent. Ford’s essays were based in part on a fictional series called The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, published in Russia in 1903 and still used by radical Islamic groups today. The essays blame Jews for all that is wrong in society and accuse them of a conspiracy to take over the world. The Protocols were a cornerstone of the Nazis’ propaganda initiatives in the ’20s and ’30s — the party published more than twenty editions of the book, and many schools used it to indoctrinate students, as well.
