Palestinian Mufti Haj Amin El-Husseini acted to stop Jewish children fleeing Nazi Europe
On May 17, 1943, Grand Mufti Hajj Amin El Husseini of Jerusalem wrote a personal letter to Ribbentrop, asking him to prevent the transfer of 4,500 Bulgarian Jews, 4,000 of them children, to Palestine. In May and June of the same year, he sent a number of letters to the governments of Bulgaria, Italy, Rumania, and Hungary, with the request not to permit even individual Jewish emigration and to allow the transfer of Jews to Poland where, he claimed they would be ‘under active supervision.’ The trials of Eichmann’s henchmen, including Dieter Wislicency who was executed in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, confirmed that this was not an isolated act by the Mufti.
