Washougal Woolen Mills in Portland, Oregon, 1923-1924
01
Artifact Overview
Beginning in 1920, the Henry Ford-owned weekly newspaper The Dearborn Independent ran a series of front-page articles that denounced all things Jewish. Though the series ended in 1922, the weekly continued anti-Jewish diatribes in other articles, most notably those attacking Aaron Sapiro, a farm cooperative organizer. This photograph, though it appears harmless, was part of that campaign. Typewritten comments on the back expose its true purpose.
