Louis Marshall, Defender of Jewish Rights
Focuses on the struggle of Marshall (1856-1929) against antisemitism in the USA and worldwide, both before 1913 and afterward in his capacity as president of the American Jewish Committee. Marshall was sensitive to antisemitism from his early years. Realizing that antisemitism in the USA was not comparable to that of the Old World in its intensity and organizational base, he opposed declaring its danger publicly and advocated moderate forms of fighting it. Describes Marshall's campaign for the dismissal of Melvil Dewey from New York state service in 1904 and his struggle against federal immigration restrictions that were covertly anti-Jewish, as well as the antisemitic atmosphere surrounding the Leo Frank case and Marshall's protests against it, and his disdain for the activities of the Ku Klux Klan. Discusses his struggle against the myth of Jewish Bolshevism and "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, " and against Henry Ford's anti-Jewish propaganda campaign and the latter's newspaper, "The Dearborn Independent." Marshall vehemently fought discrimination against Jews in the social, economic, and religious spheres.
