Introduction

This video discusses historical agreements between Zionist groups and the Nazi regime. Breno Altman details the Havara Agreement and correspondence between the Lehi group and Hitler, arguing that Zionist goals were not primarily to oppose antisemitism but to leverage situations for the advancement of their project.

Key Takeaways

• The Havara Agreement (1933-1938): A pact between the Zionist Federation of Germany and the Nazi government allowed German Jews to emigrate to Palestine with their assets, in exchange for a 25% tax and the use of those assets to purchase goods from Nazi Germany. Approximately 60,000 Jews, primarily from the financial elite, participated.
• Lehi Group's Proposal (1941): The Lehi group, led by Abraham Stern and Isaac Shamir (later Israeli Prime Minister), proposed an agreement with Hitler: if he expelled Jews from Germany and occupied territories (including concentration camps) to Palestine and supported a Jewish state after the war, they would fight alongside Germany against the British and Allied forces. Hitler did not respond.
• Zionism's Relationship with Antisemitism: Altman argues that Zionism, rather than opposing antisemitism, often benefited from it. The persecution of Jews in Europe fueled emigration to Palestine, furthering Zionist aims. He cites Theodor Herzl's diaries as evidence of his positive relationship with a Russian minister who suggested using pogroms to expel Jews to Palestine.
• Zionism's Post-Holocaust Narrative: Altman claims Zionism appropriated the Holocaust narrative to legitimize the creation of Israel, connecting the suffering of Jews with the need for a Jewish state in Palestine, regardless of the Palestinians' historical connection to the land.
• Suppression of Information: Altman asserts that the Zionist lobby's influence on media and academia obscures information about collaborations between Zionist groups and the Nazi regime. He mentions having uncovered 44 cases of such collaboration during his research.
