Excellent collection of documents on the collaboration of Zionists with the Nazi and Fascis regimes. A must read for anyone studding history of Holocaust.

I expected more in the way of documents as evidence of collaboration between the Nazis & Zionists, but there was only letters and personal accounts from primary individuals.
Regardless of expectations, this is a very important introduction for understanding the significance of shared political ideas for Zionism - from Nazi Germany perspective and other Central European involvement- the immigration of Jews to Palestine was the only method of saving the remaining exiled Jewish People.
The most telling predicament is the belligerent and forceful military aspirations of the time that took place at the expense of the indigenous population of Palestine, without which the establishment of the modern state of Israel would not have survived.
Memorable excerpt: “What Yair hoped for was that the Nazis, so eager to rid themselves of Jews, would help to bring the majority of Jews from Europe, through the British blockade, to Palestine, thus making havoc of British illusions regarding post-war control of the Middle East, facilitating allied defeat and, possibly, if Britain knew what was afoot, even producing the withdrawal of the white paper. Whatever the result, he reasoned, Jews would be brought to Palestine.”
Unfortunately, the question of Palestine and the indigenous Palestinians was never really taken seriously enough to even consider the grave human loss and injustice of their fate. A long-suffered and current tragedy.
