Henry Ford’s War on Jews and the Legal Battle Against Hate Speech

Author Victoria Saker Woeste provides a new interpretation of an episode in the life of Henry Ford: his side career as publisher of anti-Semitic propaganda. Ford was deeply involved in the operation of his newspaper, he invited the libel lawsuit filed against him in 1925, and he maneuvered to end the litigation out of court. The case and its ambiguous resolution reveal the tensions between individual freedoms and group identity.
