About this Item

A document produced for the UN General Assembly following its invitation to the Arab Higher Committee to testify on the Palestine Question. Following a brief history of the Arab Higher Committee and its objectives, the document compiles documents, letters, photographs, and diary entries showing the collaborationist activities of Arab Higher Commiittee leader Mohammed Amin al-Husseini (Grand Mufti of Jerusalem) including his meetings with Hitler, Himmler and other pro-Axis officials. Amin al-Husseini had a long history of anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic activities and this booklet was produced by pro-Zionists to discredit him and the Arab Higher Committee. It was allegedly written by Nation editor Freda Kirchwey who founded Nation Associates in 1943 as a non-profit to support the continuation of the Nation when it was beset by financial difficulties. Stapled 11" x 8 �", mimeographed from typescript, 9 p., [65] p.; facsimile documents in English, Arabic, German, Italian, and French, photographs, one folding plate. Lacking the plain covers; some smudging, penciled price and light chip to the first leaf. Seller Inventory # 12632
