Henry Ford: Anti-Semitism

Are Jews the root cause of all evils? Fuhrer and Henry Ford so labelled And shared common hatred! Anything Jewish,they ostracised!! The weekly,'Dearborn Independent'- Churned off from Ford's Michigan press, Flashed venomous stories of anti-Semitism; Consecutively,there appeared 91 articles- Claiming loudly,"International Jew;World's problem!" Henry Ford,legendary American Motorman- His car sales nosedived on model T. Jew bashing too cost him,bad! Year 1927,saw Jew boycott of anything Ford!! Are the Jews aliens? Nay! The hardworking and humble lot Were hunted for centuries! They're the most dynamic and enterprising!! Now,don't be judgemental on Henry- Who expired in 1947,of illness. What caused the greatman to go awry? Putting at stake the whole car empire? Here lies the answer to the mystery- Every genius has an inherent weekness; Anti-Semitic prejudice Was the only flaw,Henry Ford nurtured!While going through the recently published book,"A Titan of Industry-and a bigot",by Neil baldwin on the life and times of the great American Motorman-Mr.Henry Ford,it struck me odd,Henry's anti-Semitic feelings. What might have been the reason for this indiscretion? A careful analysis yielded the answer. Well,what is it? Read the poem,to find out!
