   @mekkaokereke @jupiter Not much history of Americans who supported Hitler is taught in the US.

   * Henry Ford, a virulent antisemite, was an inspiration to Hitler and received the Nazi regime's highest honor for foreigners. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/11/henry-ford-anti-semitism/675911/?gift=Vw7jowAt4TJWcg2vvOSAndW9IYjhKgBbwPuzrmkBZIc&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share

   * Many know of Jesse Owens in the 1936 Olympics. Fewer know that the US replaced 2 Jewish runners at the last minute (Owens objected but was overruled) https://www.cnn.com/2015/07/31/sport/germany-berlin-jewish-olympics-maccabi/index.html

   * There was a big pro-Hitler rally in NY in 1939 https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/americans-hold-nazi-rally-in-madison-square-garden
