Yes. He was rabidly antisemitc and an admirer of Hitler. From 1919 to 1927, he published the newspaper the Dearborn Independent, which expressed extremely anti-semitic views. Of course, Ford was expressing ideas that were quite common at that time. These views were based on the popular notion that the Jewish 'race' was responsible for the increasing spread of ideas supporting socialism and workers' rights [a big threat at the time, considering the communist revolution in Russia at that time], as well as an immense amount of scholarly work from the world of science, that strongly supported the idea that the 'human stock' is being contaminated through racial intermixing.
