Fascinating. I don't recall reading or hearing about his being
anti-Semitic, but knowing how common that was I wouldn't be surprised.

Edison got along fine, for many years, with his friend and (Jewish)
business partner, Sigmund Bergmann, who built several of his first phonographs.

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:

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

Known Facts About Edison :)
This is my pet peeve! Edison DID invent the light bulb. To say he only
perfected it is ridiculous. By definition, a light bulb consists of a
glass bulb with a filament inside. Only Edison had that. This would be
like saying that whoever invented stairs also
Edison cared deeply for his customers, that is why the C H and K reproducers
along with the 2 and 4 minute recorders were still being made and sold in the
mid 1920's. By 1924 the recorder used the same box as the business recorder.
On November 10, 1925 Clarence Ferguson purchased a 2 minute

Hello Everybody,
As many of you know, I am a middle school music/band teacher and I always run a
unit about Edison and the phonograph. We always end the unit by recording on a
wax cylinder.
For the first time in many years, I am teaching two 6th grade general music
classes along with my band
Just make sure that you don't teach them everything about Edison, he was
very hard on employees and paid a low working wage and fired most who
disagreed with him. He had a strange view-almost myopic view about art, the
people that produced it and music. If it didn't fit his view or like he

Abe, I've read DOZENS of biographies of Edison, and none of them said he was
anti-Semitic. Some of them specifically said he was not anti-Semitic. Just
because he knew Ford doesn't mean he agreed with him. Also, I don't recall any
biographies saying Edison paid low wages or that employees

I had never heard of it before either until Abe mentioned it tonight. Since I
am not an expert, I assumed there was supporting evidence. Glad to hear it may
not be completely accurate.
