Buy it. There are a lot of people who want this information to disappear. The author may have been a Trotskyite, but he broke through the Zionist brainwashing and did all mankind a service. Buy it.

Collaborationism

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2014

Yes, German Zionist jews collaborated with the Nazis after 1933. Read the documents presented in this book (and look for more in the Web or inside other books) to understand the reasons. Form your own opinion about this matter and compare it with the "officially sanctioned history". Something does not fit.

Lenni Brenner is a Courageous Speaker of the Truth

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2003

History can be deceptive. It's fair to say that some of the sensational never-published-before documents, in this book, will shock those who have accepted Zionism and its supposed history, at face value, as a political movement that was the hope of the Jews. Lenni Brenner, the intrepid author of "Zionism in the Age of Dictators," reveals disturbing new evidence in his latest effort, that suggest just the opposite. In fact, he makes a compelling case that the Zionist record was "dishonorable." You can consider this excellent tome as a worthy sequel to his first expose' on the myopic Zionist zealots of that bygone era.
For openers, Brenner showed how the Zionists had a long history of shameless cooperation with the Nazis, especially after the dictator Adolph Hitler had came to power in 1933. The Zionists were also in bed, to some extent, with the other members of what later became known as WWII's "Axis of Evil," that included Benito Mussolini's Italy, and Tojo Hideki's Japan. For example, in March 29,1936, Zionists praised Il Duce, and his regime, at the opening of a maritime school, funded by the Fascist government, at Civitavecchia. This is where a Zionist youth group, the "Betar," trained its sailors for the future Revisionist state. The speakers ignored the fact that on Oct. 3, 1935, Italian troops had invaded Abyssinia.

On another front, the "Third Congress of the Jewish Community of the Far East," was held in Jan., 1940, in Harbin, Manchuria, then reeling under a brutal military occupation by the Japanese imperial forces. At that time, too, Tokyo was already aligned with Hitler and Italy's Mussolini, in the notorious Anti-Comintern Pact. Also, keep in mind, that the Japanese's murderous "Rape of Nanking," had occurred in Dec., 1937, and the "Crystal Night" incident on Nov. 9, 1938. Nevertheless, the Zionist confab went out of its way to legitimize the Japanese occupation by certifying it as a guarantor of the "equality of all citizens," in that beleaguered land.
The Zionist also had a trade plan with the Berlin government by which German Jews could redeem their property in Nazi goods exported to then British-occupied Palestine. And to top it all off, the infamous SS-Hptscharf. Adolf Eichmann, had visited Palestine, in October, 1937, as the guest of the Zionists. He also met, in Egypt, with Feivel Polkes, a Zionist operative, whom Eichmann described as a "leading Haganah functionary." The chain-smoking Polkes was also on the Nazis' payroll "as an informer."
Brenner isn't the first writer to address the mostly taboo subject of how the Zionist leadership cooperated with the Nazis. Rolf Hilberg's seminal "The Destruction of European Jews"; Hannah Arendt's "Eichmann in Jerusalem"; Ben Hecht's "Perfidy"; Edwin Black's "The Transfer Agreement"; Francis R. Nicosia's "The Third Reich and the Palestine Question"; Rudolf Vrba and Alan Bestic's "I Cannot Forgive"; and Rafael Medoff's "The Deadening Silence: American Jews and the Holocaust," also dared, with varying public success.
After the Holocaust began in 1942, Eichmann dealt regularly with Dr. Rudolf Kastner, a Hungarian Jew, whom he considered a "fanatical Zionist." Kastner was later assassinated in Israel as a Nazi collaborator. At issue then, however, was the bargaining over the eventual fate of Hungary's Jews, who were slated for liquidation in the Nazi-run death camps. Eichmann said this about Kastner, the Zionist representative, "I believe that [he] would have sacrificed a thousand or a hundred thousand of his blood to achieve his political goal. He was not interested in old Jews or those who had become assimilated into Hungarian society. `You can have the others,' he would say, `but let me have this group here.' And because Kastner rendered us a great service by helping keep the deportation camps peaceful. I would let his groups escape."
Readers, too, will be surprised to learn, that after the Nuremberg Anti-Jewish Race Laws were enacted in Sept., 1935, that there were only two flags that were permitted to be displayed in all of Nazi Germany. One was Hitler's favorite, the Swastika. The other was the blue and white banner of Zionism. The Zionists were also allowed to publish their own newspaper. The reasons for this Reich-sponsored favoritism was, according to the author: The Zionists and the Nazis had a common interest, making German Jews emigrate to Palestine.
As early as June 21, 1933, the German Zionist Federation was sending a secret memorandum to the Nazis, which said, in part:
"It is our opinion that an answer to the Jewish question truly satisfying to the national state [German Reich] can be brought about only with the collaboration of the Jewish movement that aims as a social, cultural and moral renewal of Jewry- -indeed, that such a national renewal must first create the decisive social and spiritual premises for all solutions..."
Incredibly, Avraham Stern, the leader of the notorious "Stern Gang," late in 1940, made a written proposal to Hitler, by which the Jewish militias in Palestine, would fight on "Germany's side," in the war against England, in exchange for the Nazis help in resolving the "Jewish Question" in Europe, and their assistance in creating an "historic Jewish state." By this date, German troops had already marched into Prague, invaded Poland, and had built the first concentration camp at Auschwitz. The deranged Stern had further bragged about how the Zionist organizations were "closely related to the totalitarian movements of Europe in [their] ideology and structure." Stern's obscene proposal was found in the German embassy, in Turkey, after WWII.
Finally, I think Brenner was right, when he wrote, "This book presents 51 historic documents to indict Zionism for repeated attempts to collaborate with Adolf Hitler. The evidence, not I, will convince you of the truth of this issue...Exposing the Zionist role in the Nazis era is part of the scrutiny of the past, required of historians."

Changing history

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2004

Verified Purchase

Perhaps it will be meaningful that I am a Holocaust survivor, making me, at least somewhat, qualified to speak of the period largely dealt with in this book. Mr. Brenner calls himself in its last paragraph a historian, beside contending there that he speaks the truth and asserts facts.

One should indeed expect truthfulness from a historian, relating facts determined objectively and without bias. But one can hardly regard as a historian an author who consistently engages in what may be considered hatemongering.

His attacks are directed mainly at Zionism, as the title of the book indicates, and I may note at the beginning that inasmuch as he obviously means to oppose today's Zionism and corresponding Israeli policies, it is irrelevant what certain Zionists allegedly did more than half-a-century ago during the horrible upheavals of World War II. But although I was just a little pawn then, having no knowledge of any machinations higher up, it is clear to me that Mr. Brenner does not establish his case in the book. He precedes his cited documents--purported to prove him right--with introductions that make much more damning claims than the documents do, and without any support.

And those claims are unbelievably venomous. He doesn't even spare Einstein (e.g. p.29), suggesting him to be, of all people, moronic. Why? Because Einstein somehow favored the preservation of Jewish national identity, conflicting with the internationalism of Mr. Brenner's declared communist ideology. Another target of his is Churchill (e.g. p.23), evidently for similar nonconformance with the far left. But Stalin is praised (p.326) as anti-Nazi, notwithstanding his anti-aggression pact with Hitler, and his "reviled" status is bemoaned, disregarding the multitudes of deaths he was found to be responsible for. And Eichmann is said (p.116) to give "a careful rendering" in a report, while authors on the other side are called liars. Mr.Brenner, further (p.326), calls Franklin Roosevelt a war criminal for putting 140.000 Japanese-Americans into "concentration camps". I am understandably sensitive to terms like "concentration camp" used loosely, and Mr. Brenner admits that Roosevelt "didn't kill" the internees, but considers the difference "mincing of words". If there was something to complain about more gravely regarding President Roosevelt, it was his unwillingness to accept a shipload of Jewish refugees from Nazism, resulting in their ultimate extermination. But even here one can magnanimously assume that he was too naïve to realize what the fate of the refugees would be.

One could ascribe a naiveté as well to Mr. Brenner's distant view of happenings surrounding wartime Europe, were it not for what appears an underlying political fanaticism. As an example can serve an interview (p.103) he conducted in America in 1981 with a Zionist from Germany.

Mr. Brenner is somehow steadfast that the interview demonstrates Zionist collaboration or the attempt of it with the Nazis. He asks what I cannot characterize as other than stupid or at least naïve questions. The interviewee, Dr. Prinz, spoke of a "Jewish problem", and Mr. Brenner asked "What Jewish problem?" When Dr. Prinz said "The uncertainty of Jewish existence outside of the Jewish state", Mr. Brenner asked "Well, do you feel there is a Jewish problem in New Jersey, for example?" He seemingly thought that a "Jewish problem" as here understood didn't exist in the world and was synonymous with its Nazi formulation, the "Jewish question" (Judenfrage), and that accordingly Dr. Prinz accepted Nazism.

Another attempt in the interview was Mr. Brenner's branding the Zionists in Germany as embracing Nazism because they didn't fight it. And although Dr. Prinz explained that Zionists were few, and notwithstanding helplessness in general of Jews under Nazi power, Mr. Brenner seemed to fancy that conflicts among people are settled by movie-like "fighting it out", regardless of the realities. This agrees with his revolutionary attitude, which understands human conflicts in terms of one class overthrowing another. Those who don't agree are considered enemies, and accordingly Mr. Brenner cannot imagine that Zionists may have tried to somehow accommodate Nazis in order to benefit the Jewish people. "Collaboration" with Nazis meant in fact participation in their brutalities, not the attempt to achieve legitimate goals by such as diplomacy.

As a small boy in Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland I belonged to a Zionist scout group, and we were taught of the ideal of a Jewish state in Palestine, existing in harmony with other states. The same idealism is expressed in documents by Zionists cited by Mr. Brenner, and it is only he who in his introductory remarks turns these into villainy. He also appears to object to--beside Zionism's consciousness of Jewish nationality, forced on Jews by the treatment received in the Diaspora--the "colonization" by Jews of Palestine. He seems to confound the concept with the formation of colonies by existing states through conquest. The colonization by Zionists simply meant establishing residence. There can, of course, be disputes over the rightness of forming a state in a region, but these are in my eyes lesser matters. Most countries in the world originated if not by conquest then by gradual settlement, and at this stage of history these matters seem best resolved by negotiation and interest. The suffering of Jews has been recognized to merit the state of Israel, supported by historical justifications.

Unfortunately, Israel has been accused of other wrongdoings besides, with Mr. Brenner obviously among the accusers. I would like here to complain more generally about writings alongside his that attack Israel. Israel has been accused of as much as committing genocide on Palestinians, accusers thus turning truth upside down in the fashion of Goebbels, who accused Jews of raping German women. It is well known that Israel, unlike Palestinian attackers, does not kill any innocent civilian by intention, let alone wanting to annihilate a people. A book like Mr. Brenner's should accordingly be far from recommended, unless one wants to be amused by how an otherwise good mind can veer into fanatic falsehoods and assaults.

Lenni Brenner hat hier die Quellen zu seinem Buch "Zionismus im Zeitalter der Diktatoren" offen gelegt.
Wer die Muße hat, die Quellen zu lesen sollte dieses Buch besitzen.

Wer etwas über die Kooperation zwischen Zionismus und Mussolini Faschismus / Hitler Nazismus erfahren will ist hier richtig.
Auch die Entstehung des "National-Zionismus" d.h. die Entwicklung des Zionismus zum Zionazismus, dem Regime, daß im heutige Israel / Palästina den Gaza-Ghetto Genozid verübt wird hierdurch nachvollziehbar.

Namen wie der Zionist,Rezo Kästner, der mit der SS 200.000 Juden gegen 1.600 Zionisten tauschte, oder Zeév Jabotinski, den Einstein einen jüdischen Faschisten nannte welcher in Palästina u.a. in Deir Yassin Massenmord an Zivilisten beging und sich bei Mussolini ausbilden liess sind Beispiele.

For those trying to understand how the naive mind is manipulated by polarization this is a must.

If you take into further account that the "religion" of the nazis was mostly inspired by Blavatsky you will begin to see the light of truth (in a sense of proving that's raining or not - who asks for last causes has to go deeper).
