| Summary: | A spate of books, articles, and internet posts has lately sought to establish a link between Arabs and the Nazis with regard to the Holocaust. Although varying greatly in worth, most have as their major message (or at least as a transparent subtext) the proposition that “the Arabs” of today are the spiritual heirs of National Socialism's genocidal mission targeting the Jews. In my assessment, Klaus Gensicke's narrowly focused study on Amin al-Husaini (189?–1974), the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, belongs to this project. |
