Question: I never knew Henry Ford was an Anti-Semite!?!?

I'm from Michigan where Henry Ford is basically a hero. I just found out that Henry Ford did everything he could to rid the world of Jews. He supported Hitler and even received a medal from Hitler for his "work". He published a four-volume anti-Semetic work titled: "THE INTERNATIONAL JEW, THE WORLD'S FOREMOST PROBLEM".

I just can't believe it! I am absolutley disgusted!

I'm so glad I've never driven a Ford in my life.

Does anyone feel the same?

Answer: Oh yes, Henry Ford was a virulent antisemite. Everything you heard is true, but don't blame Ford cars. They had nothing to do with it. No machine is intrinsically evil. Only people can pull that one off. As I said, Henry Ford was quite famous for his antisemitism. I recall a joke my grandfather once told me about how the Cohen brothers invented an automobile air-conditioner in the 1930's and went to Henry Ford, then the largest carmaker in the world, to market it. Trouble was, the Cohen brothers wanted their name on the unit, and Ford, being a rabid antisemite wasn't about to have a Jewish name on his cars. So they negotiated and finally reached a compromise. To this day, every air-conditioner in every Ford vehicle carries the names of the three Cohen brothers, Norm, Hi, and Max!
