Quote:

Once the Jews had emigrated, they could come into contact unhindered with their racial comrades from the rest of the world and do more damage to the deserted country than before. […] In addition, the Jews were getting closer to their goal of establishing a Jewish nation state” […]. I would like to allow myself to draw your attention to the fact that it would be very appropriate and more appropriate to prevent the Jews from emigrating from your country and to send them to where they are under strong control, e.g. to Poland. This avoids their danger and does a good, grateful deed towards the Arab people…

Author Bio:

Palestine, Mohammed Amin Al-Husseini (1895-1974) Al-Husseini was an Islamic clergyman and Palestinian Arab nationalist from one of Jerusalem's most influential families. He became known as the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.

Context:

Amin al-Husseini played a decisive role in the spread of modern anti-Semitism in the Arab region and the cooperation between Islamist anti-Semites and the National Socialists. He was a staunch supporter of the extermination of European Jews in the German Reich and in the areas occupied by Germany. He made contact with the National Socialists, won support from German leadership circles and lived in Berlin from October 1941 until the end of the Second World War. During this time he became a member of the SS and carried out propaganda for Germany in Arabic. In the late stages of the World War, al-Husseini helped mobilize Muslims for the Waffen SS in the Balkans. After the war, al-Husseini was wanted as a war criminal in several European countries and handed over to the French authorities after his arrest in Switzerland. After France, England and the USA for strategic reasons refrained from indicting Husseini as a war criminal, he found asylum in Egypt in 1946, from where he pursued his ideas. As a result of the massive flight of Palestinians that began with the Palestinian War of 1948, he lost his political leadership position, which eventually passed to the PLO under Yasser Arafat.
