If you google edison antisemite you will come across an astonishing
and lengthy screed about how the Jews created Hollywood so they could
peddle filth and undermine Christian morals. It begins with the
struggle of Jews to wrest filmmaking away from the Edison Trust, and
strays into communism,
Both Paul Israel's and Neil Baldwin's biographies of Edison have a few
paragraphs on his attitudes towards the Jews. Baldwin's biography of
Ford has more or less the same information as in his Edison book, and is
quoted on his website:

Like his friend Henry Ford, Edison was virulently anti-Semitic and blamed Jews
for all of the world's major problems.
This quote is according to the above website, which is a bio of TAE. It
certainly isn't

Especially since Edison himself had little or nothing to do with it. Edison
Co. filmed it, for sure but that is like saying CBS filmed it. No one would

Good observations. Actually, I am in agreement with you, as I found no sources
to support their (NNDB) statements, either.
That being said, I posted this to make a point: you CAN find anything on the
internet to support ANY view that you choose to take. And, since it is posted

And just like his good friend Henry Ford he was very anti-Semitic.
Abe,
I have studied Edison for some thirty years. Could you please give me some
concrete evidence that Edison was anti-Semitic?

There is no doubt that Edison was anti-Semite. Here is evidence from

Try and keep in mind that being or expressing an anti-Semitic point of

Well I didn't think I would not get much interest in the statement but let

Edison cared deeply for his customers, that is why the C H and K reproducers

Given when he was born, where he lived, and his own ethnic and cultural
group, I would be surprised if he were either more or less anti-semitic
than others in the United States who weren't themselves Jewish.
