Initially established in 1913 to manage fallout from the conviction of Jewish murderer Leo Frank, the ADLs first major effort to engage in cultural censorship began in the early 1920s in the form of a campaign against Henry Fords Dearborn Independent essay series The International Jew. The campaign began with a cross-denominational conference in September 1920, during which Orthodox and Reform rabbis gathered in Chicago to develop a strategy that would suffocate Fords momentum and stifle growing American anti-Semitism.[2] The chosen approach was based on crypsis. The rabbis agreed that rather than condemn Ford themselves, they would draw up a statement condemning his writings as un-American and un-Christian and have it signed by prominent non-Jewish American luminaries. This crypto-Jewish manifesto was then signed by, among others, President Wilson and former President Taft, before being published to a gullible public. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
