The Haavara (Transfer) Agreement was a financial instrument that was negotiated between David Ben-Gurion & Hitler a few months after the Nazis rose to power in early 1933, and it continued non-stop (even after Nuremberg Laws & Kristallnacht pogrom) until December 1941 and was designed to:

Relieve Nazi Germany from the crippling spontaneous worldwide boycott & rise in unemployment that hit Germany soon after Hitler became chancellor in early 1933.

Stimulate the German economy and decrease unemployment by selling German goods in the Middle East and North Africa.

Help Nazis implement their racist policies aimed at "cleansing" Germany of its Jewish citizens and to dispossess them from their wealth (valued at 10-12 billion Reichsmarks which was more than Mefo bills' total size as of mid-1938) as much as possible.

In return, Zionists channeled a fraction of the liquidated German Jewish wealth to build the foundation of their "Jewish state" 15 years ahead of its time.

This website design is somehow even worse than marxists dot org, but this info is wild. I knew that the Zionist newspaper was allowed to continue after the Nazis came to power because they encouraged Jews to leave Germany, but this is a whole new level of collaboration that I did not know about.
