Description
This antisemitic article printed in Henry Ford's newspaper, "The Dearborn Independent" claims that the Jewish people dominate global finances and manipulate the governments of the world from the shadows through "an international super-capitalistic government." It is the first of a series of eighty antisemitic articles that were printed in the newspaper and were later compiled into a four volume series of pamplets, also called "The International Jew." This series was translated into German and became a major influence on Hitler and other Nazi leaders.
