Another world-famous American's history was also forever blackened by Nazi association. Charles Lindbergh was awarded (by Hermann Goring) the "Service Cross of the German Eagle" by the Nazi regime in 1938, which is considered part of the Order of the German Eagle. ("You cannot escape history"--Abraham Linoln
Ford also was so cruel and demeaning to his son that he died in his forties from stress-related ulcers. Ford should have won the award for Evil Genius.
Most inciteful and timely.
As American Jews who fled persecution in Eastern Europe before 1915, our family knew of Ford’s outsized shadow on industrialization.
Our first car was a Dodge, 1950ish!
And today, I'll be you will not be buying a Tesla.
