The Story
This is the remarkable story of Haj Amin alHusseini, who in many ways was as big a Nazi villain as Hitler, and to understand his influence on the Middle East is to understand the ongoing genocidal program against the Jews of Israel. AlHusseini was a bridge figure in terms of transporting the Nazi genocide in Europe into the postwar Middle East. As the leader of Arab Palestine during the British Mandate period, alHusseini introduced violence against moderate Arabs as well as against Jews. AlHusseini met with Adolf Eichmann in Palestine in 1937 and subsequently went on the Nazi payroll as a Nazi agent. AlHusseini played a pivotal behindthescenes role in instigating a proNazi coup in Iraq in 1941, in urging Nazis and proNazi governments in Europe to transport Jews to death camps, in training proNazi Bosnian brigades, and in funneling Nazi loot into postwar Arab countries.
