Nonsense.  I have never seen a shred of evidence that Henry Ford 
regretted his actions. Considering the scale of his bigotry, it would 
hardly matter. It is sometimes argued that Ford was just a product of 
his time and that lots of people of the era held irrational 
prejudices. But lots of people did not spend millions to spread that 
venom to the rest of the world. And Ford's antisemitism was a 
particularly virulent strain.

What did happen later in his life and even more so after his death 
was a massive campaign by the Ford family and motor company to 
downplay the viciousness of his hateful actions. Just as the 
Rockefellers spent billions to attempt to wash the blood from their 
familial hands owing to the murderous anti-union tactics of John Sr, 
the Fords spent billions to convince the world that old Henry wasn't 
really the Jew bashing bastard that he so clearly was.

Even Stalin couldn't rewrite enough history to cover that lie.
