CEP Impact: Barnes & Noble Removes Antisemitic Book From Website



(New York, N.Y.) — Action by the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) has resulted
in Barnes & Noble halting the sale of a version of the infamous antisemitic
book, Henry Ford’sThe International Jew, and removing it from its website. The
company made a neo-Nazi publisher’s four-volume version of the book available
for purchase on November 9, the anniversary of the failed 1923 Beer Hall Putsch
and Kristallnacht. The version sold contained artwork by a white supremacist
illustrator.



CEP reported the book to Barnes & Noble on November 10 as violating the
bookseller’sContent Policy

, which explicitly states that “content that encourages intolerance, terrorism,
hate, racism or violence” is prohibited. Barnes & Noble removed the neo-Nazi
press’ version of the book less than one week later.

Ford is recognized for broadcasting international conspiracy theories about
Jews to the American public, and he accused Jews of abusing capitalism to
specifically target his business. The version of the book that Barnes & Noble
removed openly promoted antisemitism and was meant to be read as a truthful
text. The description on the website stated that “Henry Ford legitimized ideas
that are still true today.”



The timely and decisive response by Barnes & Noble is the latest example of
how CEP’s subject matter expertise, combined with quick and reliable content
moderation can be used to disrupt the sale of material that is seeking to
spread hate.



Earlier this year, CEP action led to the removal of a neo-Nazi clothing shop
