In this article, I discuss a recent trend in studies on a Palestinian political leader, al-Hajj Amin al-Husayni (1895-1974) with special attention to the relationship between Hajj Amin and the Nazis (National Socialists) during the Second World War. Hajj Amin’s enemies have accused him of collaborating with the Nazis. Appointed the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem in the early 1920s, he escaped arrest by the British authorities from Palestine in 1937 for his role in the Palestinian Arab revolt in 1936. He went into exile in Nazi Germany and stayed there until the end of the war, after the failure of Rashid Ali Kaylani’s coup in Iraq in 1941. Recently a lot of new studies have been published to emphasize his political role under the Nazi regime. These studies claim that Hajj Amin shared the Nazis’ hatred of the Jews. Some researchers also assert that Nazi ideology persists among radical Arab nationalists and Islamic fundamentalists in the Middle East and that the collaboration between the Nazis and Hajj Amin during the war introduced the political and ideological ideas of Nazism into an Arab and Islamic context, especially after September 11, 2001. Against this background, this article tries to re-touch the picture of Hajj Amin’s role from Arab and Palestinian perspectives.
