1920. This volume contains a series of articles reprinted from articles appearing in 'The Dearborn Independent' from May 22 to October 2, 1920. "This little book is the partial record of an investigation of the Jewish Question. It is printed to enable readers to inform themselves on the data published in 'The Dearborn Independent' prior to October 1, 1920. The motive of this work is simply a desire to make facts known to the people. Other motives have been ascribed to it. But the motive of prejudice or any form of antagonism is hardly strong enough to support such an investigation as this. Moreover, had an unworthy motive existed, some sign of it would inevitably appear in the work itself. We confidently call the reader to witness that the tone of these articles is all that it should be." These articles are worthy of reproduction due to their historical value. In NO WAY IS THE PUBLISHER ANTI-SEMITIC. As a religious and philosophical publisher, we make old and scarce works available to the modern reader-regardless of their position on any certain topic. For the Jewish zealots who are outraged at this publication, consider that if anything stated herein is true, then the Jewish people must live with their history without remaking it or pretending it to be something different than what is the actual truth. If these articles are false and derogatory, then let the facts speak for themselves and condemn the editors of these articles. The truth will eventually surface to the benefit of both the Jewish zealot and those who would criticize the great Jewish people. Certainly in the twenty-first century, an advanced society can debate ideas on their own merit and prove any philosophy to be true or false without fanaticism from either side. No race or religion is above criticism. Conversely, no race or religion is worthy of condemnation and excoriation. It is not the words in a book that make or demean a people-only their actions. Every person and every race has their high and low moments. Only a fair minded soul can see the good in all peoples everywhere. Hopefully, you the reader, are such a soul. This book contains important historical information and as such, it is herewith reprinted.
