It seems as if the whole world has agreed: nothing that could possibly offend Muslims can be displayed, no matter how historically important or relevant to the contemporary scene.
“The missing photo of Hitler and the Mufti of Jerusalem,” by Shalom Pollack, Arutz Sheva, November 27, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
I would like to introduce a notorious Nazi SS general, a leading Muslim cleric and the father of a nation – all in one.
This person is Haj Amin al Husseini.
Husseini was the powerful patriarch of the leading Arab clan in Palestine in the first half of the twentieth century. He used his political power and religious influence for his life’s motif – the murder of Jews.
In an attempt to “mainstream” the Mufti of Jerusalem ” the British appointed him to an official position of power and responsibility.It did not work. It only gave him the platform and prestige to pursue his passion of killing Jews.
This he accomplished on numerous occasions, most notably by instigating the barbaric Hebron massacre of dozens of Jewish families in 1929. (Note: in 1929, there was no Zionist “apartheid occupation”, no “occupied territories” nor “settlers”; just Jews of all ages living in Hebron and horriblly killed by their neighbors)
A Nazi sympathizer, he fled British controlled Palestine during the war. He led a Nazi coup in Irag where he instigated the bloody “Farhud” pogrom against the Jewish community of Iraq.
He then fled to Germany where he was made an honorary SS general by Himmler and proceeded to do all he could in helping the Hitler regime kill Jews. He addressed the Arab world by radio from Berlin winning huge support for the Nazis. He raised divisions of Muslim that fought in the Nazi army. One of their tasks was to guard so that Jews do not escape the trains to death camps.
Husseini intervened in a deal that would have saved a train load of Jewish children for a bribe. Husseini would not allow one Jewish child to escape the gas chambers.
Together with Himmler he visited the death camps and drew plans to build a “facility” in the Dotan valley in Samaria where the half million Jews of Palestine would be gassed as soon as Rommel defeated the British. Eichmann was quoted as saying: “I am a personal friend of the Grand Mufti. We have promised that no European Jew would enter Palestine any more.”
After the war, SS general Husseini found refuge in Syria from war crimes judgment. Wherever he appeared in the Arab world he was received as a hero and mentor. His Nazi credentials together with his clerical position were the calling card that opened every door in the Arab world.
Yasar Arafat called him “the father of the Palestinian people”. PA authority president Abbas repeated this accolade.
Yad Vashem, the world’s foremost Holocaust Museum and memorial had a large photo of Husseini with Hitler on one wall. Opposite was a photo of Jewish soldiers from Palestine volunteering in the British army in the “Jewish Brigade” The contrast was clear.
I say had, because when Yad Vashem was refurbished and expanded in 2005, the Hitler – Husseini photo did not make it into the new museum.
As a tour guide since 1980, I have visited the old museum numerous times and remember clearly how my tourists were shocked by the duo in the photo.
In the new museum, instead of the Husseini – Hitler photo there is a far smaller one of Husseini and Himmler, in a dark corner that no one sees. I finally located it.
When I wrote to Yad Vashem and asked why they removed the photo from the new museum, I was told that the new museum “concentrates on the victims and less on the perpetrators”. However just a few feet from the small Husseini – Himmler photo is an entire wall of perpetrators – the architects of the “Wannsee Conference” that drew up the plans for the Holocaust.
I asked a number of local official Yad Vashem guides about the photo. They either did not know of it or said it was political and they did not discuss it with visitors. They were uncomfortable with my inquiry.
I wondered if associating Palestinian Arabs with Nazis was no longer politically correct since the Oslo accords with Arafat in 1993….
Jedothek says
This is one of the most sinister examples of Islamic supremicism that I have seen. How did the Islamists put pressure on Yad Vashem to remove the photo? In investigating questions like this, readers should not be intimidated by the fact that conspiracy theories are ridiculed. The fact that a theory is ridiculed does not show that it is false.
revereridesagain says
No wonder we are about to be inundated with slaves of Allah running for office with an eye to further Islamizing our once free nation. If Yad Vashem cannot be trusted to speak — and show — the truth, who can? Their flak declares that the new museum “concentrates on the victims and less on the perpetrators”? Who do they think created the victims? That is too “political” to discuss?
This is cowardice and I am embarrassed for YV and those who work there.
mikje says
so now the Museum is folding to the left and Muslims the very Muslims that want to destroy the Jewsish people great move make me embarrassed to be Jewish Hide the facts. Now If I remember my history the Muslims said to Hitler is was NOT the time to eliminate the Jews
Doomer says
The Mufti of Jerusalem was responsible for killing 90% of Bosnia Jews plus others,about 20,000 in all ( including 4,500 children sent to Auschwitz ).
It is part of the attempt to erase history. It is like the 1619 Project by the NY Times,Leftist rag.
The truth is this:
1.In France, Holland and England at the time slavery was ILLEGAL.
2.Later they changed the law, so the 20 Africans bought in Virginia in 1619,from the Dutch, were bought as Indentured Servants.
3.About 60% of the approx. 600,000 whites who emigrated to the 13 colonies came as indentured servants.
4.An indentured servant had to work for somebody, the one who paid for his voyage trip, for 7 years, then was automatically free.
And a bit about COLUMBUS
I think he was a Portuguese spy,but to condemn him for his actions, Leftists leave out the truth.
1. In April 1492 he signed an agreement with the Spanish monarchs called the Capitulations of 1492. That was before October 12. He was granted the title of viceroy and not could not mistreat the people of the places he went to.
2. In 1494 after the second voyage, Columbus sent to Spain 500 natives as slaves.They were freed by the Spanish queen,who wrote to him not to enslave the natives.
The queen sent the natives back to America in a ship.
3.This was later confirmed in her last testament, in 1504, where she specified to in no way go against the property and bodies( liberty) of the natives.
So when Columbus did commit anti-human rights acts against the natives,it was illegal, according to the laws of Spain. We have the documents, but Leftists lie and lie and say Western civilization is the worst in history.

Doomer, I don’t think you can prove your case of an active role of the Mufti in the Holocaust. His role was purely passive and that of a cheer-leader. The Nazis liked photo opportunities with him, but apart from that, his role in Bosnia was that of an honorary colonel of the Handschar SS. That was not very effective, either, since the Handschar later mutinied against the Nazis. Muslims were not solid allies of the Nazis.
Doomer says
Well,at least the Mufti approved of it all, since Allah in sura 5:64 says he curses the Jews literally
till the day of resurrection, all because some local Jews then
said Allah had his hands chained ( was powerless).
Dhimmi says
Actually in the first world war the Caliph, the Sultan declared jihad. Muslims were weaker at the time but still
brenrod says
Supplying the nazis with Muslims to aid their slaughter is not passive, nothing he did was passive. If he was passive then so was Hitler, after all he only talked and gave orders.
gravenimage says
I agree that the Mufti’s role was much worse than passive.
mortimer says
Shalom Pollack writes: “I wondered if associating Palestinian Arabs with Nazis was no longer politically correct since the Oslo accords with Arafat in 1993.”
There is some backroom deal behind this removal of historical content, no doubt. However, I recommend a thorough discussion of the Mufti al-Husseini by Dr. Andrew Bostom, “The Mufti’s Islamic Jew-Hatred”.
Al-Husseini is the primary inspiration of the Pally terror organizations of today.

Anjuli Pandavar says
Is this Holocaust denial, or just denial of a Holocaust detail? How many Holocaust details do you have to deny before it becomes Holocaust denial?
gravenimage says
Damn good questions.
Infidel says
Any Jew who supports this – from now on – has absolutely no business denouncing holocaust denials from anybody – be it neo-Nazis, alt-rightists, or anyone else. If it’s okay for muslims to deny/support the holocaust, it’s okay for anyone else to do that as well! I absolutely refuse to cede to muslims a moral pedestal in condoning something that anyone else would normally be pilloried for
And it’s a disgrace that this cover-up is being done in Israel, of all places! Whatever happened to ‘Never forget’?
somehistory says
I agree.
somehistory says
A Jew was being interviewed by Dr. Glazov on a range of things, and he said something like, “Yes, there were 6 million Jews, killed… gypsies, killed… there were 80 million people killed…”
80 million victims don’t stack up against the clerics of islam when it comes to who is more important in today’s society. mozlums can silence just about anyone…even try to rewrite history…which can’t really be undone, just hidden for a little while.
But, as Jesus Christ said, “Nothing secret remains hidden.” (paraphrase)
The Truth about things always comes to light.
Keith O says
As much as I detest the bastards, I must admit that mudslimes are pretty damn skilled at rewriting history to present themselves as the eternal victims and at the same time removing any trace of their atrocities or at the very least shifting blame to the Jews and anyone who stands up against them.
Barbara says
Fletcher Prouty has a picture of this in his book JFK. He writes about how he flew this man from one place to another.
He was an air force pilot prior to the start of WWII and was in a lot of front row positions to observe how history occurred. It is insightful and names those who did what.
Dean says
“The things I saw beggar description. … The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick … . I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to “propaganda.”-General Dwight D. Eisenhower
How long before the entire holocaust get shoveled onto the scrap heap of history so we don’t “offend” someone? I would have no trouble with them removing the picture if Muslims were now at peace with Jews, but even today the majority would be more than happy to drop the Zyklon B canister onto the Jewish people.
OLD GUY says
Next thing you know Muhammad walked on water. However I think Muhammad missed out on the ten commandments something about not agreeing on thou shalt not kill or commit adultery and thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house.

No one should have caved to this pressure–and even worse if it was self-censoring.
