and British Jews - knowingly, willfully, calculatedly sacrificed their trapped European

coreligionists:

In his book, "In Days of Holocaust and Destruction," Yitzchak Greenbaum

writes, "when they asked me, couldn't you give money out of the United Jewish

Appeal funds for the rescue of Jews in Europe, I said, 'NO!' and I say again,

'NO!' ... one should resist this wave which pushes the Zionist activities to

secondary importance."

In January, 1943, the leadership of the absorption and enlisting fund

decided to bar all appeals on behalf of rescuing Jews. It is explicitly stated

in the "Sefer Hamagbis" (Book of Appeals) that the reasons for this prohibition

were because of other obligations in Eretz Yisroel.

In the begi

in Tel Aviv on the subject, "the Diaspora and the Redemption," in which he

stated:

"For the rescue of the Jews in the Diaspora, we should consolidate our

excess strength and the surplus of powers that we have. When they come to us

with two plans - the rescue of the masses of Jews in Europe or the redemption

of the land [in Palestine] - I vote, without a second thought, for the

redemption of the land. The more said about the slaughter of our people, the

greater the minimization of our efforts to strengthen and promote the

Hebraization of the land. If there would be a possibility today of buying

packages of food [for Jews in Nazi captivity] with the money of the "Keren

Hayesod" (United Jewish Appeal) to send it through Lisbon, would we do such a

thing? No! And once again No!" (Reb Moshe Shonfeld, The Holocaust Victims

Accuse: Documents and Testimony on Jewish War Criminals, 1977, p. 26, emphasis

added)

Mr. Schwalb expressed the complete Zionist ideology and stated clearly and

openly the politics of the Zionist leaders in the area of rescue: the shedding

of Jewish blood in the Diaspora is necessary in order for us to demand the

establishment of a "Jewish" state before a peace commission. Money will be

sent to save a group of "chalutzim" (pioneers), while the remainder of Czech

Jewry must resign itself to a

War Criminals, 1977, p. 28, emphasis added)

We have previously quoted the words of Yitzchak Greenbaum, chairman of the

"rescue committee" of the Jewish Agency in Eretz Yosroel, who refused to

allocate even one dollar of United Jewish Appeal funds for food to those who

were fighting off the pangs of hunger. This approach was totally in consonance

with his famous slogan, to the effect that, "one goat in Eretz Yisroel is more

important than an entire community in the Diaspora." How could he thus

withhold a package of straw from a Holy Land goat in order to send food to a

starving infant? But if that is not enough, the Zionists acted like the fiend

who declared that he not only would not give, but he also would not let others

give (whom our Sages called a "rosho" - a wicked person). The Zionist leaders

weren't satisfied merely with the crime of sitting idly by and doing nothing.

They labored with all their might to forcefully prevent others from helping the

sufferers in the ghetto. (Reb Moshe Shonfeld, The Holocaust Victims Accuse:

Documents and Testimony on Jewish War Criminals, 1977, pp. 44-45)

One cow in Palestine is worth more than all the Jews in Poland. (Yitzchak

Greenbaum in Reb Moshe Shonfeld, The Holocaust Victims Accuse: Documents and

Testimony on Jewish War Criminals, 1977, p. 116)

The Antonescu Offer. Reb Moshe Shonfeld's book documents several instances of offers being

made, sometimes by the Nazis, to release Jews for a fixed price, and of the offers being

declined by Zionist leaders. The Romanian government, for example, offered 70,000 Jews at $50

apiece. These Jews could have been transported to Palestine via Turkey - a few days' ride by

truck. The Romanian offer was confirmed by the U.S. State Department. The offer would become

void once Romania was occupied by the Germans - an occupation that was imminent. Ben Hecht in

his book Perfidy relates placing the following ad in New York newspapers:

FOR SALE

70,000 JEWS

AT

$50 APIECE

GUARANTEED HUMAN BEINGS

Zionist leaders, however, denied the existence of such an offer and sabotaged fund-raising

efforts. As a result, the 70,000 Romanian Jews perished. Ben Hecht's indignation is

unrestrained:

But in 1943, we, who called out the plight of the Romanian Jews to the

world, were discredited by the Zionist unions, the established Zionist

leadership and their associated philanthropies, as scandalmongers. Our attempt

to get the Jews out of Romania before the Germans came was scotched.

The 70,000 Jews who might have been saved were herded into barns by the

Germanized Romanians under General Antonescu, hosed with gasoline, ignited, and

shot down when they came blazing and screaming out of their cauldrons.

Was it for this the conspirators of Silence had been holding their

high-level meetings, fraternizing with presidents and prime ministers and

keeping intact Weizma

Silence, this wretched business of Jewish leaders lying about the slaughter of

Europe's Jewry - trying to hide it, soft-pedal it - for what?

These organizations, these philanthropists, these timorous Jewish lodge

members in Zion, in London and America - these Zionist leaders who let their

six million kinsmen burn, choke, hang, without protest, with indifference, and

even with a glint of anti-Semitic cu

up against them. These factotums, these policy-makers, the custodians of the

Jewish future in Palestine ... these Zionist men and women - I haul into the

prisoner's dock of this book. (Ben Hecht, Perfidy, in Reb Moshe Shonfeld, The

Holocaust Victims Accuse: Documents and Testimony on Jewish War Criminals,

1977, p. 102)

So I am ready to sell you - a million Jews. ... What do you want to save?

Virile men? Grown women? Old people? Children? Sit down - and talk. ...

Now I am going to prove to you that I trust you more than you trust me. When

you ... tell me that the offer has been accepted, I will [as an initial

demonstration of good faith, even before you make any payment] dissolve

Auschwitz and move 10 percent of the promised million to the border. You take
