No more bigots in Boston?
When Boston was America’s ‘capital’ of anti-Semitism
“When we get through with the Jews in America, they’ll think the treatment they received in Germany was nothing,” said Coughlin during a tirade in the Bronx.
"The hate-monger also published “Social Justice,” a newspaper that reprinted 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion' in 1938, just as the persecution of German Jews reached a fever pitch.
"Coughlin’s largely Irish American adherents earned Boston the moniker, “the poisonous city.” For example, the Christian Front worked with vendors to include anti-Semitic pamphlets with products, and restaurant owners were urged to include text denouncing Jews among specials on the menu.
"This was not “polite” anti-Semitism behind closed doors, but an ongoing campaign of incitement."
