Summary
Analysis
Ford begins to publish a series of stories in the Dearborn Independent for three years, telling the country how the world’s troubles, wars, strikes, revolutions, and crime are due to the Jews. The stories also argue that Jews are undermining American morals by producing racy films, making shorter skirts, and promoting lewd music and dancing. The American people generally take Ford’s stories as true.
