Henry Ford's Anti-Semitism

Henry Ford, who revolutionized the automobile industry and made cars more affordable for Americans, held anti-Semitic views and supported Nazi Germany. He used his company, money, and influence to spread and legitimize these views, blaming Jews for national problems ranging from strikes to depressions. He was even awarded Nazi Germany's Grand Cross of the German Eagle in 1938, which was given to foreigners sympathetic to Nazism.
