The International Jew, a series of antisemitic pamphlets published by Henry Ford between 1920 and 1922, represents one of the most influential and damaging expressions of organized antisemitism in early 20th-century America. Compiled from articles originally printed in Ford’s Dearborn Independent newspaper, the work promotes conspiracy theories about Jewish control of global finance, media, and politics, drawing heavily—and uncritically—from The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a known forgery. Despite Ford’s later retraction and apology in 1927, the publication had already gained international circulation, influencing antisemitic ideologies abroad, including in Nazi Germany.
