Ken Livingstone claims that Hitler had, in 1932, a policy of support for Zionism. 1.1 Sources & Responses
1.1.1 Hitler was supporting Zionism
Home Affairs Select Committee1: “… when Hitler won his election in 1932, his policy was that the Jews should be moved to Israel. He was supporting Zionism. He wanted all the half a million German Jews out. At that stage, his view was to move them out. By autumn 1933, he had negotiated a deal with a German Zionist organisation that led to 66,000 German Jews being moved to what is now Israel. Had the Zionists not negotiated that deal, those 66,000 Jews would have died in the gas chambers.”
Home Affairs Select Committee: “He supported the Zionists because, by doing that deal, the Zionists undermined the worldwide boycott of German goods that were organised by Jewish groups all over the world. In 1937—in August I think—there was a meeting at the German Foreign Ministry of senior Nazi officials who were all worried that the movement of Jews to what was then Palestine could lead to the creation of a Jewish state, which would become a focus for anti-Nazism. They were recommending to Hitler that he stop that. Hitler directed them to continue to move the Jews to Palestine.”
Home Affairs Select Committee: “If you look at the situation, from the moment Hitler came to power, antisemitic legislation, discrimination, absolutely endemic. The only group of Jews he worked with was the Zionists, and his deputy, Heydrich, wrote in 1935 or 1936 in his diary that “There are two kinds of Jews: those that wish to be assimilated and the Zionists, and the Zionists are the ones we should work with”.
Home Affairs Select Committee: “I simply point out that if you go to the Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem, you can pick up this document, which they give out, which shows that exactly what I said is true. It lists Hitler’s collaboration with Zionists.”
Home Affairs Select Committee: Mr Winnick: “… In fact, the only agreement, basically, was the one that you rightly referred to, which no one denies—the Haavara or transfer agreement, which allowed some 60,000 Jews to leave with their assets. Is that not so?” Ken Livingstone: “That is exactly the one I was referring to. That was Hitler’s support for Zionism and at that World Zionist Congress, there was a vote of 240 to 48 opposing the worldwide boycott of Nazi goods.”
Home Affairs Select Committee (Supplementary Evidence)2: The [1933 Transfer] Agreement has been widely documented. In my questioning by the Committee the source I had originally quoted, 'Zionism in the Age of the Dictators' by Lenni Brenner, was dismissed
