If we use the broadest, most accepted modern definition, Eastern Europe = Belarus, Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia (European part), Slovakia, Ukraine.  

Core Romanov Territory in Eastern Europe (up to 1917)  

Relative to the list of modern Eastern European states, here’s what was inside the Russian Empire:  

• Russia (European part) – The Romanov heartland, with St. Petersburg and Moscow.  

• Ukraine – Entirely under Romanov control (except for Galicia, which was Austrian until WWI).  

• Belarus – Fully within the empire.  

• Poland – The Congress Kingdom of Poland (after the 1815 Congress of Vienna) was ruled by the Romanovs. After uprisings in 1830 and 1863, autonomy was stripped, and it became Russian Poland (the “Vistula Land”).  

• Moldova – The eastern half (Bessarabia) belonged to the empire; the western half remained Romanian.  

• Finland – Was the Grand Duchy of Finland, an autonomous territory under Romanov rule (1809–1917).  

• Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) – Incorporated into the Russian Empire after wars with Sweden and Poland.  

  

Territories NOT in Romanov Hands (but still Eastern Europe today) 

• Czechia – Habsburg (Austro-Hungarian Empire).  

• Slovakia – Habsburg.  

• Hungary – Habsburg.  

• Romania (minus Bessarabia) – Independent kingdom by the late 19th century, though caught between Russian, Ottoman, and Austrian pressures.  

• Bulgaria – Ottoman Empire until 1878; then a kingdom with Russian influence but not under Romanov control.  

 Bigger Picture 

• At its peak (before WWI), the Romanov Empire stretched from Poland to the Pacific Ocean, including parts of Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Siberia.  

• In Eastern Europe, the Romanovs controlled most of the Slavic lands east of Germany and Austria-Hungary.  

• The only real “Eastern European” lands they didn’t hold were Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania (west), and Bulgaria.  

  

Summary: 

Compared to the modern UN-style list of Eastern Europe:  

• Inside Romanov control: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Moldova (Bessarabia).  

• Outside Romanov control: Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania (west), Bulgaria.  

Why It’s Controversial  

• Critics of Dayan’s stance:  

• Say minimizing the Mufti’s role whitewashes Arab/Palestinian involvement in Nazi ideology.  

• Point out his advocacy against Jewish immigration to Palestine during the Holocaust, which may have contributed to Jews being trapped in Europe.  

• Stress that he actively promoted extermination policies in meetings with Himmler and other Nazi leaders.  

• Supporters of Dayan’s stance:  

• Argue the Holocaust was conceived and carried out by Nazi Germany, regardless of the Mufti.  

• Note historians (including at Yad Vashem) classify al-Husseini’s influence as propaganda and symbolic support, not policy-shaping.  

• Emphasize the risk of turning Holocaust education into a political weapon against Palestinians today, distorting proportional responsibility.  

 The Historical Record 

• According to Yad Vashem’s own archives and mainstream Holocaust research:  

• The Mufti supported the Final Solution, but he did not originate it.  

• He lobbied against Jewish refugees escaping to Palestine.  

• He collaborated in propaganda and helped recruit troops for the Waffen-SS.  

• There is no evidence he influenced Hitler’s decision to launch the extermination program (which was already in motion by late 1941).  

 Why It Matters Today 

• The debate isn’t just about history—it’s about how Israel frames Palestinian history in relation to the Holocaust.  

• Right-wing groups emphasize the Mufti to portray Palestinians as historically complicit in Nazi crimes.  

• Others, like Dayan, worry that inflating his role undermines scholarly credibility and turns Yad Vashem into a tool of present-day politics.  

 In short: 

The Mufti of Jerusalem was a Nazi collaborator and propagandist who met Hitler in 1941. But historians generally agree his role in the Holocaust’s decision-making was marginal. The controversy is less about history than about how Israel uses Holocaust memory in today’s political conflicts.  

Who or What is a Mufti?  

• A mufti is a Muslim legal scholar who interprets Islamic law (sharia) and issues religious rulings (fatwas).  

• The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was the highest Islamic authority in Mandatory Palestine, especially in the 1920s–40s under British control.  

• The most famous figure with this title was Haj Amin al-Husseini (1897–1974).  

• Appointed Grand Mufti by the British High Commissioner in 1921.  

• Became a political and religious leader of Palestinian Arabs.  

• Known for fierce opposition to Zionism and British colonial rule.  

 Al-Husseini and Nazi Germany 

Yes — the claim you quoted is true, but with important context:  

• Exile and Contact with Nazis: After the failed 1936–39 Arab Revolt in Palestine, al-Husseini fled British authorities. By 1941, he made his way to Berlin.  

• Meeting with Hitler (Nov. 28, 1941):  

• He met Adolf Hitler, Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, and SS chief Heinrich Himmler.  

• He sought German and Italian support for Arab independence and to block Jewish immigration to Palestine.  

• Propaganda Role:  

• Broadcast Nazi propaganda in Arabic via radio, urging Arabs to oppose the Allies and reject Jewish settlement.  

• Portrayed WWII as a war against Jews and colonial powers.  

• Recruitment Role:  

• Helped recruit Muslims for Waffen-SS divisions in the Balkans (e.g., the Handschar Division in Bosnia).  

• Final Solution:  

• He expressed explicit support for the Nazi extermination of Jews.  

• Evidence shows he lobbied German officials to prevent Jewish refugees from escaping to Palestine.  

• Historians generally agree he did not influence the design of the Holocaust, but he was a willing propagandist and collaborator once it was underway.  

 After the War 

• Al-Husseini fled to France, then Cairo. He remained a symbol of Palestinian nationalism until his death in 1974.  

• His Nazi connections left a deep stain, and Israeli/Western politicians frequently invoke his Hitler meeting to discredit Palestinian nationalism.  

 Summary  

• A mufti = an Islamic legal scholar; the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was the chief Muslim cleric in Palestine.  

• Haj Amin al-Husseini (the Mufti in question) did meet Hitler in 1941, collaborated with the Nazis, spread propaganda, and recruited troops.  

• Historians agree he was a Nazi ally and propagandist, but his role in shaping or directing the Holocaust itself was marginal compared to Hitler, Himmler, and other Nazi leaders.  

Timeline: The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini (1897–1974) 

Early Life & Rise 

• 1897 – Born in Jerusalem into a prominent Palestinian Arab family. 

• 1913–17 – Studies in Cairo, serves briefly in the Ottoman army in WWI. 

• 1920 – Helps organize anti-Zionist riots in Jerusalem; sentenced to 10 years by the British (pardoned after one year). 

• 1921 – Appointed Grand Mufti of Jerusalem by the British High Commissioner, Herbert Samuel, partly to secure Arab support. 

Political & Religious Authority 

• 1920s–30s – Consolidates power through the Supreme Muslim Council, controls religious endowments, schools, and sharia courts. 

• 1929 – Accused of inciting anti-Jewish riots that kill ~130 Jews in Hebron and Safed. 

• 1936–39 – Plays a leading role in the Arab Revolt against British rule and Jewish immigration. 

• Advocates for Arab independence. 

• Demands the British halt Jewish immigration to Palestine. 

 

Exile & World War II 

• 1937 – Flees British Palestine after revolt is suppressed; lives in Lebanon, then Iraq. 

• 1941 – Involved in pro-Axis coup in Iraq; after its failure, escapes to Germany. 

• Nov. 28, 1941 – Meets Hitler in Berlin. Seeks Nazi support for Arab independence and pledges Arab cooperation against the Allies. 

• 1941–45 – Becomes a Nazi collaborator: 

• Delivers Arabic radio broadcasts urging Arabs to rise against Jews and Britain. 

• Works with Heinrich Himmler and SS officials. 

• Helps recruit Muslim Waffen-SS divisions in the Balkans (e.g., Handschar Division). 

• Lobbies against letting Jewish refugees flee to Palestine. 

 

Postwar Years 

• 1945 – Captured in France; escapes house arrest and goes to Cairo. 

• 1947–48 – Opposes the UN partition plan for Palestine and mobilizes resistance to Israel’s creation. 

• 1950s–60s – Remains a symbolic figure for Palestinian nationalism but gradually loses influence to younger leaders like Yasser Arafat. 

• 1974 – Dies in Beirut, largely sidelined by then. 

 

Assessment 

• Mission: Prevent Jewish statehood in Palestine at all costs. 

• Tactics: Combined religious authority, political leadership, and international alliances (including with Nazi Germany). 

• Legacy: 

• Revered by some Arab nationalists as a resistance leader. 

• Reviled internationally for his Nazi collaboration. 

• His Hitler meeting remains one of the most controversial episodes in Palestinian history, often invoked in modern debates. 

In short: The Mufti was absolutely a man with a mission — one driven by opposition to Zionism, and his pursuit of that mission led him into an alliance with Nazi Germany, forever staining his legacy. 

Why He Could Look Like Controlled Opposition 

• Appointed by the British: 

• In 1921, it was the British High Commissioner, Herbert Samuel (himself a Zionist Jew), who appointed al-Husseini as Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. 

• This gave him immense religious and political authority, despite being a relatively young cleric with a record of incitement. 

• Suppressed Arab Rivals: 

• By backing al-Husseini, the British ensured a centralized, predictable Arab leadership they could negotiate with — or blame when things went wrong. 

• Failed Revolts: 

• The 1936–39 Arab Revolt collapsed in disaster: tens of thousands of Arabs killed, leaders exiled, infrastructure destroyed. 

• Some historians argue al-Husseini’s leadership weakened the Palestinian cause at a critical moment, leaving them fragmented when Israel was founded in 1948. 

• Nazi Alliance Backfired: 

• His decision to side with Hitler gave Zionist propaganda a lasting weapon: Palestinians could be linked to the Holocaust. 

• This delegitimized Palestinian claims on the international stage for decades.

Why He Might Not Have Been Controlled 

• Genuine Belief System: 

• Al-Husseini was consistently anti-Zionist and anti-colonial from the 1920s onward. His actions aligned with his ideology, not just outside manipulation. 

• Clashes with Britain: 

• The British repeatedly exiled him, put out arrest warrants, and stripped him of influence when he resisted. That’s unusual for someone “fully controlled.” 

• Loss of Power: 

• After WWII, he was sidelined by Arab leaders and eventually replaced by younger Palestinian nationalists like Yasser Arafat. If he had been a puppet, it’s strange that he wasn’t maintained in power. 

A Middle Ground: Useful Enemy 

Rather than being strictly “controlled opposition,” al-Husseini might best be seen as a “useful enemy.” 

• His extremism and Nazi alliance made him a perfect foil: Zionist leaders could point to him as proof Palestinians were irrational, antisemitic, and aligned with genocidal powers. 

• His failures fragmented Palestinian politics, which suited both British colonial interests and Zionist strategy. 

• In effect, whether or not he was consciously manipulated, his choices played into the hands of his opponents. 

Summary 

• Controlled opposition theory: He was elevated by the British, centralized resistance, but often in ways that weakened the Palestinian position. 

• Counterpoint: His actions were driven by real convictions and often clashed with British and Zionist plans. 

• Likely reality: Haj Amin al-Husseini wasn’t a puppet in the strict sense, but his extremism and miscalculations made him a “useful enemy” — someone whose leadership undermined his own people’s cause and strengthened that of his rivals. 

Early 20th-Century Context 

• The British Empire (and other colonial powers) didn’t yet have the perfected “toolkit” of Cold War–style intelligence operations. 

• Their approach to opposition was more blunt: co-opt some leaders, exile or crush others, play factions off one another. 

• With the Mufti of Jerusalem, the British did both: they gave him power (1921 appointment) but also reined him in or exiled him when he pushed too far. 

This “half-in, half-out” dynamic fits with the idea that they were learning to manage controlled opposition without fully mastering it. 

 

The Episodes 

1. The death camps Treblinka, Sobibor, and Belzec made up nearly 1/3 of the holocaust. Episode 1 explains what they were. 

1. On the map we see a water well surrounded by burial pits. The water well would have been contaminated. The storytellers didn’t think of that. 

1. If you’re going to get off a train, and get gassed within the hour, and then thrown into a pit; what is the point of a haircut? Yet that’s part of the story. 

1. Engine exhaust seems like the best way to make carbon monoxide gas, if you’re not a chemist, that is. 

1. Wasn’t the holocaust completely documented at Nuremberg? Yes it was. If you consider 20 minutes of courtroom time a thorough documentation of 1.5 million deaths. 

1. We look at a model of the gassing building that supposedly killed nearly the population equivalent to San Francisco, and find it odd that the building entrance didn’t even have a set of double doors. 

1. The featured witness for Treblinka at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum says something very odd: that the Germans disguised the gas chambers as a kind of hair salon, complete with professional barbers. As he says: “…make to believe that they’re getting a nice haircut.” 

1. A Treblinka witness at the Eichmann trial in 1961 makes some mistakes on the witness stand. 

1. An article in February 1943 first brought the holocaust story to mainstream America. The article also mentioned six million–an uncanny number to throw out since the supposed fact hadn’t happened yet. 

1. Ridiculous experiments the Germans wouldn’t have done. One of the most prestigious holocaust scholars writes: “Incendiary bombs were tried, but these caused large fires in the surrounding woods.” Uh, o.k. 

1. We use 3-D modeling to show that the burial space at Treblinka is too small. Way too small. The storytellers figured a few large pits would suffice for 700,000 bodies. 

1. It’s too small also, and we use the Rose Bowl Stadium during the Rose Bowl Game to show that. Watch episode 11 first or this chapter won’t make sense. 

1. Let’s put it this way, you can’t bury the equivalent to the stadium spectators of the Rose Bowl Game in two pits not much bigger than the chicken coop, and then sentence someone to life imprisonment based on “the evidence.” Something just isn’t right. 

1. Excerpt: “This young black man might be thinking that the slavery that happened to his ancestors is nothing compared to the holocaust. Except what happened to his ancestors really happened.” 

1. There’s some elements that the storytellers forgot about. Outdoor cremation fires in the middle of winter, for instance, might work better if they had a roof over them. You know, for when it rained and stuff. 

1. At Sobibor they tried to dig an escape tunnel. They could only dig down 5 feet because they said there was a danger of striking water past that. One problem the storytellers forgot about: the burial pits are described as 23 feet deep. 

1. A few Belzec-related stories weaved together. Most people would probably agree that barbed wire with tree branches propped into it is not a great example of good design for a security fence in a death camp. We comment on Josef Oberhauser and Rudolf Reder. 

1. Why we know more about a tsunami that hit in the year 1700 than what’s underground at Treblinka. We also look at some excerpts from the movie “Mr. Death.” 

1. Admittedly, mixing holocaust denial with an episode of the 70’s tv show Charlie’s Angels seems odd, at first glance that is. 

1. Holocaust historians copiously write about what the Soviets found when they took over Auschwitz, but strangely omit what the Soviets found when they took over Treblinka. Why is that? Also, when Professor Boder went to Europe after the war to document the holocaust, he was likely surprised at what people had to say. 

1. At Treblinka they supposedly destroyed all traces that the camp ever existed. They even tore up the railroad tracks leading to the camp. But at Auschwitz they left 7 tons of human hair and 7,000 Jewish inmate eyewitnesses waiting to speak to the Soviets. Why is that? 

1. No one informed Dr. Berman that the Germans purportedly left Treblinka without leaving a trace. Thus his story of the “10’s of thousands of little shoes of little children” is problematic. 

1. Excerpt: “We’re going to cremate a leg of lamb at the beach as a way to better understand the outdoor cremation process.” 

1. It looks like three flowers on a football field, but what it’s showing is that it takes space to crush that many bones. And no space is given on the maps for bone crushing. 

1. They burned a “B as in Bruce” quarter Billion pounds of wood in an area enclosed by a tree branch fence. Hmmm… Treblinka had two fences. This was the inner fence. 

1. No tanks are going to get into this camp! What with the anti-tank obstacles surrounding it. But does that make sense? Wouldn’t the large gun mounted on the front of a tank make it unnecessary for the tank to need to enter the camp? 

1. SS Officer Kurt Gerstein presented himself to his French captors as a very important eyewitness—one of a handful of people who had seen Belzec. Presenting himself as valuable was a strategy for staying alive. 

1. Adolf Eichmann purposely said the most ridiculous things in his 1961 trial. And the reporters at the “New York Times” amazingly believed him. It’s amazing what people will believe when evil is in the equation. 

1. It’s a book respected by holocaust historians. Never mind that the author has a story to top his peers: that he and his wife survived 9 death camps. We also look at the following question: “What happened to the Jews of Europe? Did they just disappear out of thin air?” We look at it, and answer it. 

1. Teaching “Tolerance” is great. Suggestion: Use real examples. Like the American Indians. You don’t need to use a lie-example, when there’s plenty of real examples. We conclude by looking at how the belief in the holocaust leads to unfair United States foreign policy in the Middle East, and from that, what Americans then spend their time reading about in the newspapers.

1. The World Almanac reported that the world’s Jewish population was slightly larger just after the war than it was just before the war 

1. No Bodies: Nobody ever found mass graves or even a single ounce of ash, teeth, or bone 

1. No Gas Chambers: No forensic scientist could find any trace of Cyanide in the Shower Rooms (Including Jewish Scientist teams) 

1. No Crematoria: Nobody ever found crematoria capable of incinerating six million bodies. Mathematically and physically impossible. 

1. No Written Orders were ever discovered ordering the deaths of Jews 

1. No Mention of a “Holocaust” in historical works like Churchill’s six-volume history of the war, The Second World War 

1. Camp Workers and Residents living near the camps can not recall anyone going missing 

1. Red Cross Representatives Were Stationed in the Camps and none ever reported a “holocaust” 

1. Jewish Elites Have Repeatedly Cried “Six Million”: After nearly every major European conflict of the 19th and 20th centuries (1800s and 1900s), Jews cried “holocaust” 

1. Six Million is the Number of Jews That Were Transported to the Camps, yet the camps were full at the end of the war 

1. 11. Bonus – Its a crime to question the “holocaust” in 19 countries
