BOOK ONE — INTRODUCTION<br />

HENRY FORD’S (NON-) “APOLOGY” TO THE JEWS<br />

In America <strong>of</strong> 1917-21, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Protocols</strong> were widely circulated under <strong>the</strong> title <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> Jewish<br />

Peril 211/ and this was particularly publicized and distributed by <strong>the</strong> automobile magnate, Henry<br />

Ford Sr. Ford has been described by his Jewish detractors as being “an obsessive anti-Semite.”<br />

Ford is also alleged to have admitted that his own accusations were unfounded [Lewis, at 109.]<br />

This “apology” reference is apparently to <strong>the</strong> supposed type-written and hand-signed “Apology”<br />

by Ford to certain Jews for his publishing <strong>the</strong> Dearborn Independent newspaper series, “<strong>The</strong><br />

International Jew,” as described in this Introduction — and an apology which Henry Ford said he<br />

had not made. 212/<br />

THE TEXT OF HENRY FORD’S (NON-)”APOLOGY”<br />

Arthur Brisbane is alleged to have been a “journalist friend <strong>of</strong> Ford’s who had been<br />

critical <strong>of</strong> Ford’s anti-semitism.” 213/ And yet, Brisbane says he remembers what Henry Ford told<br />

him about Ford’s own opinions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Jews, which Brisbane repeated at a press conference for<br />

<strong>the</strong> public release <strong>of</strong> Ford’s “apology” to <strong>the</strong> Jews:<br />

Nobody can accuse me [Henry Ford] <strong>of</strong> being hostile to <strong>the</strong> Jewish people as a<br />

race. I employ thousands <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m. <strong>The</strong>y include many <strong>of</strong> my ablest associates.<br />

This building, which I believe to be <strong>the</strong> finest <strong>of</strong> its kind in <strong>the</strong> world, was built<br />

for me by Albert Kahn, Jewish architect here in Detroit, a man in my opinion with<br />

no superior.<br />

You know about <strong>the</strong> Wayside Inn which I bought in New England to<br />

perpetuate it interesting memories. I wanted to have it refurnished with au<strong>the</strong>ntic<br />

furniture <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> correct periods, tried various dealers, not Jewish, and could not<br />

get what I wanted. I <strong>the</strong>n asked a Jewish dealer in Boston, Mr. Saks, to do <strong>the</strong><br />

work for me and he has done it for me ever since, satisfactorily and honorably.<br />

I am hostile to concerns that seek to control o<strong>the</strong>rs and make money hard<br />

to get, no matter what <strong>the</strong>ir race or religion, but I am not hostile to Jews. 214/<br />
