Abstract:
Discusses attitudes in the Land of Israel toward European Jewry during World War II and the claim, beginning in the 1970s, that the Yishuv leadership did not do enough to save European Jews. Criticism of Yishuv leaders focuses on whether their concern with local developments rather than those in Europe can be justified, and whether rescue efforts were made for the sake of Zionism rather than for the Jews themselves. States that questions posed concerning the Zionist leadership in the Yishuv should also relate to Zionist and other Jewish leaders in Eastern Europe. The Yishuv leaders did not see themselves, nor were they seen by other Jews at the time, as leaders of the entire Jewish people. There were many differences of opinion among Yishuv leaders, as there were among Jewish leaders in the diaspora. For example, there were some who believed that collaboration with the Nazis to some extent in order to save Jewish lives was worthwhile, while others disagreed. The lack of a single Jewish leadership that could dictate policy, in the Yishuv or in Europe, was detrimental to rescue efforts.
