Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh and the Rise of Antisemitism in America
Summary
The flood of immigrants into the United States during the 19th and early 20th centuries caused some existing communities to rethink what it meant to be an American. European tropes about Jews followed them across the ocean, leading to restrictions and even repatriation. Some of the most famous and influential figures were at the forefront of this new “American style” Jew hatred.
