Ford's reputation was seriously damaged by his episode of anti-Semitism, even though he recanted in 1927 and never repeated it. He was indeed responsible for the publication, in the U.S. of the ''Protocols of the Elders of Zion'' and several other pamphlets aimed against Jewish influence. He paid for the publication of an anti-Semitic book ''The International Jew'', a work endorsed by Hitler.
