@Jonathanglick@mstdn.social Yeah, I knew a bit about Ford's antisemitism, but this story is, well, maybe not a new low, but certainly something.
@stefan@stefanbohacek.online Ford was directly responsible for introducing the antisemitic tract, the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion,' to America. He even used his dealerships to do it.
Also from the original source:
"Like Hitler, who greatly admired Ford and even mentioned him approvingly in Mein Kampf"
Huh, okay.

(I mean I knew what kind of a person Henry Ford was, just not about this particular instance of it.)
