Revision as of 04:14, 3 October 2007
The International Jew is a four volume set of books originally published and distributed in the early 1920's by Henry Ford, an American industrialist, automobile developer and manufacturer.
It is to be distinguished from The International Jew: The World's Problem which was the headline in The Dearborn Independent and is the name of a of collection of articles serialized in The Dearborn Independent, a newspaper owned by Ford.
It is also to be distinguished from the title of the first volume of the series, namely, The International Jew, The World's Foremost Problem (note the absence or presence of the word "Foremost" as the distinguishing mark in the subtitle). It is substantially a compilation of antisemitic sources, but consisting primarily of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion as the main and most important source.
Main article: The Protocols of the Elders of ZionContent
After publication in the periodical, the articles were compiled into a four volume set as follows:
- Volume 1: The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem (1920)
- Volume 2: Jewish Activities in the United States (1921)
- Volume 3: Jewish Influence in American Life (1921)
- Volume 4: Aspects of Jewish Power in the United States (1922)
Influence on Hitler
Vincent Curcio wrote that these publications "were widely distributed and had great influence, particularly in Nazi Germany, where no less a personage than Adolf Hitler read and admired them. Hitler based several sections of Mein Kampf on his writings: indeed, Ford is the only American mentioned in Hitler's book."
Libel suit, 1927
A libel lawsuit brought by San Francisco lawyer and Jewish farm cooperative organizer Aaron Sapiro in response to antisemitic remarks led Ford to close the Independent in December 1927. News reports at the time quoted him as being shocked by the content and having been unaware of its nature. During the trial, the editor of Ford's "Own Page", William Cameron, testified that Ford had nothing to do with the editorials even though they were under his byline. Cameron testified at the libel trial that he never discussed the content of the pages or sent them to Ford for his approval. Investigative journalist Max Wallace noted that "whatever credibility this absurd claim may have had was soon undermined when James M. Miller, a former Dearborn Independent employee, swore under oath that Ford had told him he intended to expose Sapiro. According to Michael Barkun, "That Cameron would have continued to publish such controversial material without Ford's explicit instructions seemed unthinkable to those who knew both men. Mrs. Stanley Ruddiman, a Ford family intimate, remarked that "I don't think Mr. Cameron ever wrote anything for publication without Mr. Ford's approval".
Legacy
The Patriotic Publishing Co.
In 1934, The Patriotic Publishing Co., an unincorporated entity that operated out of a post office box "Issued" and "Compiled and edited" the The Protocols as an expanded 300-page tome. The expansion from less than 100 pages to 300 pages was made possible by lifting substantial sections from The Dearborn Independent. Most of the later imprints of the Protocols are derived from this 1934 edition.
Distribution of The International Jew was halted in 1942, but extremist groups often recycle the material; it still appears on anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi websites.
G. F. Green and the Christian Nationalist Crusade
In June of 1949 there appeared a 174 page one volume abridgment of the text, entitled The International Jew, subtitled "The World's Foremost Problem", and edited by G. F. Green. It was published by G. F. Green, editor of The Independent Nationalist with the address at 56 Gloucester Road, New Barnet, Herts, England.
The printer was H.L. Castle, Ltd., Victoria Printing Works; Watford, Herts, England. This edition sold for 9/- (British currency).
The book also sold in the United States. It is distributed by the Christian Nationalist Crusade.
This is the source of the version of the International Jew which currently circulates as an abridgment bearing the name of G. F. Green.
