Abstract

Abstract During the Second World War and the Holocaust, Arab exiles living in Berlin, led by Haj Amin el-Husseini, enthusiastically collaborated with the Nazi regime to produce Arabic language radio and print propaganda aimed at North Africa and the Middle East. The resulting propaganda displayed an ideological fusion between National Socialist ideology on the one hand, and elements of radical Arab nationalism and Islamist ideology on the other. Previously under-utilized or unused evidence from British, German and American government archives make the most extensive account to date about this campaign possible. National Socialist Arabic language propaganda constituted an important chapter in the diffusion and merging of Nazi with Islamist forms of Jew-hatred during the Second World War and thereafter in the Middle East.
