I don't think Ford ever did go to Germany to pick up his medal. I can't remember where I saw that so caveat emptor.
While it would be silly to boycott Ford now (I mean Henry's dead), it would still be illuminating to mention it in historical texts. There are too many holocaust deniers and anti-semitism still persisting today. Lots of folks don't understand/know what the fuss is about: don't/can't see the institutionalized anti-semitism in our society. Through education, hopefully we can slowly change things. Same goes for other groups as well: blacks, women etc.
